What studies have been done to prove Competitive Sourcing is effective in reducing the cost of performing a particular commercial activity while maintaining or improving quality?
The Department of Defense has been conducting competitive sourcing (A-76) reviews for several years and has recorded millions of dollars in savings. NIH has many functions that support the science at NIH that are commercial in nature (i.e., they are provided by commercial sources as well). The NIH is currently supported by hundreds of contracts that provide the service due to their ability to offer servvices at a reduced cost and increased efficiency. NIH has shown that in many cases, contract performance is cheaper than performance by Federal employees.
