            passengers following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 
            2001.''.

        private competition that includes a most efficient and cost 
        effective organization plan developed by such activity or 
        function; and
            (B) the Competitive Sourcing Official determines that, over 
        all performance periods stated in the solicitation of offers 
        for performance of the activity or function, the cost of 
        performance of the activity or function by a contractor would 
        be less costly to the executive agency by an amount that equals 
        or exceeds the lesser of--
                (i) 10 percent of the most efficient organization's 
            personnel-related costs for performance of that activity or 
            function by Federal employees; or

Management and Budget Circular A-76 shall prevent the head of an 
executive agency from conducting a public-private competition to 
evaluate the benefits of converting work from contract performance to 
performance by Federal employees in appropriate instances. The Circular 
shall provide procedures and policies for these competitions that are 
similar to those applied to competitions that may result in the

alternative payment mechanism available before issuing the card; or (2)
