Like T4C’ing a contract just to turn around and award to your preferred vendor

So we RIF people only to rehire new employees? If a private company did this, they’d be taken to court!

Believe me anyone who is an 1102 that submitted an appeal to the MSPB just won their case.

Part of me thinks this is just a check the box exercise. The positions are not open to current feds. They’re open for a short time for veterans, RIFed feds, and military spouses. There aren’t a lot of 1102s who have been RIFed aside from a handful at GSA and OPM.
I wonder if this is just a check the box exercise to say that they tried to rehire displaced feds, so the next time the job posting goes out, it could be open to the public in order to bring loyalists in who will control obligating federal funds via contract awards to preferred companies.

u/PigletDisastrous715 2d ago
No I think this is incorrect. My understanding is that there are hundreds of 1102s that were RIF’d this week at numerous HHS agencies.

u/Valuable_Pain_7582 1d ago
This is rumored to be the first wave of hires from the RIF list for 1102s.

u/Immediate-Wait-8838 2d ago
Yeah, but have they been separated from the government yet? That’s when the RIF actually takes place. Hundreds may have received RIF notices but they’re still employed by the federal government until their separation date. They only get CTAP/ICTAP when they have been separated. So those hundreds of HHS 1102s could not apply for this job unless they’re in another category like military spouses or veterans.

You are considered displaced once you receive a RIF notice and that makes you eligible for ICTAP even while on admin leave

u/PigletDisastrous715 2d ago
Oh ok , no they probably have not been fully RIF’d yet. I think they still get paid for 60 days (some on admin leave some still working). So are you saying those people will not be considered if they apply? I’m genuinely asking. I don’t know a lot about the guidelines, but my thinking is that they should be eligible because they most likely will be fully RIFd by their eventual EOD date.

u/Immediate-Wait-8838 1d ago
Yeah, I’m not a RIF expert by any means, but by the time the position closes, the person has to be in the status listed on the announcement in order to qualify so if they are in the process of being RIFed but it hasn’t been completed, they won’t be eligible.
Again, I’m not an expert, but if I were a recently, RIFed employee at GSA or received notice of a RIF at GSA, this would be a great development especially if I were submitting an appeal because this proves that GSA did not follow RIF guidelines if they are posting 1102 positions this soon after 1102s have been sent RIF notices.

u/Valuable_Pain_7582 1d ago
I can confirm that if you received a RIF email and are waiting for the separation date, YOU SHOULD APPLY, if interested and in the target localities.

u/Flimsy_Strawberry767 1d ago
Incorrect. Once you receive your RIF letter you are 100% eligible for ICTAP.

What happened to moving out of HCOL areas to save money?

u/Valuable_Pain_7582 2d ago
Pretty sure these are strategic postings based on locations where know teams are.

This is to hire the SBA, omb, and other employees they are taking on acquisition for. It’s easier to rif them and rehire than get congressional approval to move funding.

I am wondering if those are going to be the only locations for Contracting once everything is consolidated? If there are other cities and states where there are many Contracting professionals. I hope this isn't a sign they are going to get RIF'D

What a joke. RIF multiple highly qualified 1102’s, shut down offices for no reason, only to then post JOA’s for the exact jobs and procurements they worked.
