How will support consultants assist the FAA in Competitive Sourcing?
Competitive Sourcing is a complex and relatively new process for civilian agencies. Support consultants will work directly with members of the FAA Competitive Sourcing teams in providing process-orientation, lessons learned, and best practices based on previous Competitive Sourcing experience. In addition, support consultants are anticipated to assist in the development of all work products, helping to incorporate the functional expertise of FAA employees of all levels. In order to avoid conflict of interest problems, contractor support will occur with strict adherence to the same firewall regulations with which the FAA and Union representation must comply.
