Excerpt
Excerpt: The August 1983 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-76, Performance of Commercial Activities, established Federal policy for the performance of recurring commercial activities (CA). On May 29, 2003, OMB issued a revised circular - a major step and one of the pillars to fulfill the Bush Administration?s promise of better management in Government. The Government has long relied on the private sector to provide needed commercial services. The concept of CA dates back to 1955 when the Bureau of the Budget announced a national policy to rely on the private sector for goods and services whenever proper and economical to do so. The program has changed and grown throughout the years and emphasis has fluctuated with various administrations, but the basic policy of relying on commercial sources for products and services has not changed.
