SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In accordance with Section 743 of Division C of the FY 2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Public Law 111-117, the NRC is publishing this notice to advise the public of the availability of its FY 2015 Service Contracts Inventory and Inventory Supplement.

The inventory provides information on service contract actions over $25,000 that were awarded in FY 2015. The information is organized by function to show how contracted resources are distributed throughout the agency. The inventory contains the following data:

1. A description of the services purchased;

2. The role the contracted services played in achieving agency objectives;

3. The total dollar amount obligated for the services under the contract, and the funding source for the contract;

4. The contract type and date of the award;

5. The name of the contractor and place of performance;

6. Whether the contract is a personal services contract; and

7. Whether the contract was awarded on a non-competitive basis.

The inventory supplement includes information collected from contractors for covered contracts on the amount invoiced for services and the number of contractor and first-tier subcontractor employees, expressed as full-time equivalents for direct labor, compensated under the contract.

The NRC will analyze the data for the purpose of determining if its contract labor is being used in an effective and appropriate manner and if the mix of federal employees and contractors in the agency is effectively balanced. The inventory and supplement do not include contractor proprietary or sensitive information.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 18th day of April 2016.
