As I understand MEO its Military Equal Oppurtunity. Somebody explain it in the context of 00-20-14 and what an MEO lab is. Randolph is the only lab marked Civil Servant. I know many labs have some WG spots and suspect Hill and Tinker also have a Type V lab like here at Robins.
Also who the hell has MacDill's contract? I've never seen any openings there but it has been contract forever(?).

Boonton, Ballantine, Wavetek - if made more than 10 years ago get the green or red tags ready. (there are exceptions to every rule)

MEO is a civil service lab.
MacDill's lab don't know....I know Bionetics used to have em and the QAE things was deffinently not in their favor
MEO actually stands for Most Efficient Organization.
Not sure how that really translates into civil service or how it came to be known as MEO in the first place...
MEO stands for most efficient organization, meaning the goverment put together a bid and was compared to a contractor. If the goverment bid was won then the lab was staffed with civil service techs..
Bionetics still has the Mac Dill contract...
Hill, Tinker and Robins have organic labs that are staffed by Civil service techs in addition to the contract labs at those sites
Okay thanks but now more questions
How often do the MEO labs go through a "rebid"
Of the current MEO labs which are Civil Service types and which are a contractor? Is there a way to tell?
I think there has been some low consideration of making Robins Type V (organic cs) into MEO. I heard that there was a bid but it wasn't up for it. As in somebody said they could employ people to do it faster (that would most likely be the case here).
tx for the info
Our current ACC bid is an 8 year bid (just finished the second year) reviewable annually, meaning if ACC doesn't like how we're doing it and can show probable cause, it can be rebid. I've been here 12 years through Raytheon, Bionetics, and now Yulista, most of the personnel are the same when the contract started in '94, with a few who have left and a couple new faces. We are, however, not under MEO (thank goodness) as here at Offutt, they're paying WG and I couldn't afford the pay cut.
From what I've seen and heard here, the people who won the MEO bid here horribly under bid the manning, figuring they would get the increase in manning after it started. They're getting some, but not necessarily enough.

if the lab is listed as a MEO it it goverment and has a long bid I think it is 8 or 10 years if the lab has a lot of troubles the command that owns it could pull the MEO and start the bid process again
Any of the labs listed in 20-14 as contract are run by contractors with varying contract lenghts. Just depends on the command most are a couple of years initial with several one year extentions available depending on performance.
Andrews is MEO and is all civil service. MEO, Most Effficient Organization, is all government employees as far as I understand it. THe MEO contract can vary. Andrews is on a 5 year contract and goes out for rebid. Advantages of MEO are that you are in the government and you can use it as a stepping stone to other government positions. Disadvantages are the red-tape of government hiring practices and the limitations of the contract - number empoyees, overtime, etc.
MEO does have the possibility of reverting to full time regular civil service since it was not technically handed over to contractors. This is some information I had gotten from a long time civil servant PMEL'er.
