Are there FTE reduction goals or targets associated with Competitive Sourcing?
No. There are no pre-set FTE reduction goals. The focus of competitive sourcing is not to mechanically reduce government workers, but to determine who can perform the requirements more efficiently and effectively. The competition process may change the amount of staff needed to deliver the service or product even if a function is retained in-house. The scope and nature of the changes required are a result of the process and are not to be guided by any predetermined expectations.
