DoD Competitive Sourcing: Effects of A-76 Studies on Federal Employees' Employment, Pay, and Benefits Vary

Abstract

This letter responds to your request for information about the impact of public/private competitions under the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 on employment, pay, and benefits of individual federal workers who formerly performed that work. Specifically, you expressed concern about the extent to which such competitions might adversely affect the pay and benefits of former federal employees and could result simply in shifting government jobs to the private sector at lower pay and benefits. This report draws on our previous work examining the results of A-76 competitions within the Department of Defense and additional data to describe (1) how A-76 competitions reduce estimated costs of Defense activities and (2) what impact the competitions have on affected federal employees employment, pay, and benefits.
