Other Organizations
The Intergovernmental Personnel Act regulations specify that "other organizations" are eligible to participate and define what an "other organization" is. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management does not certify organizations for participation in an IPA agreement. Each Federal Government agency certifies an organization for an IPA agreement. If an organization has already been certified by an agency, this certification is permanent and may apply throughout the Federal Government. Another agency can accept this certification or require an organization to submit the appropriate paperwork for review. Requests for certification should include a copy of: • Organization's articles of incorporation; • Bylaws; • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) letter of nonprofit status; and • Any other information describing the organization's activities as they relate to the public management concerns of governments or universities. ==References==
