USAID will evaluate 7 of the 14 Product Service Codes (PSC) identified as “Special Interest Functions” by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) memorandum on “Service Contract Inventories,” dated November 5, 2010. Of the Special Interest Function PSCs, the seven special interest function PSCs with no contract actions included the following codes: B505 Cost Benefit Analysis, D310 ADP Backup and Security Services, R407 Program Evaluation Services, R409 Program Review/Development Services, R413 Specifications Development Service, R414 Systems Engineering Services, and R423 Intelligence Services.

The Agency will evaluate three additional codes of interest, which hold the USAID’s largest obligations. Of particular interest is the evaluation of R425-Support-Professional: Engineering/Technical* which is essential to the Agency’s overall mission not only in award value, but also by providing critical technical services.
