Office of Federal Procurement Policy; Notice of Availability of 
Draft Performance-Based Service Contracting (PBSC) Documents on 
Professional and Technical Services

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Federal Procurement 
Policy (OFPP).

SUMMARY: OFPP initiated an interagency project to develop generic 
guidance materials to assist agencies in converting selected 
professional and technical services to PBSC methods. Working groups, 
consisting of agency technical and procurement personnel, are 
developing generic PBSC documents that include: performance 
requirements, performance standards, quality assurance techniques, 
positive and negative incentives, and evaluation criteria for selected 
services. Draft documents have been prepared for software development 
and ADP maintenance services. We are still in the developmental stages 
for preparation of documentation for such services such as training, 
telephone customer assistance 800 numbers, aircraft maintenance, and 
test range support. After the documents have been finalized, they will 
be published as a reference source for agency voluntary use. We feel 
that public review and comment on the draft documents would provide us 
with valuable feedback and insight. OFPP will review and consolidate 
this information and provide it to the specific workgroups for their 
information and potential use.

ADDRESSES: Those persons interested in reviewing and obtaining a copy 
of the draft documents should contact Ms. Linda Mesaros, OFPP, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 9001, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20503.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: For additional information contact Linda 
Mesaros at 202-395-4821.
Steven Kelman,
Administrator.
