Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Daniel Gordon took part in a question and answer session the Professional Services Council and the American Bar Association hosted on April 26. Gordon discussed his March 31 draft policy letter, “Work Reserved for Performance by Federal Government Employees.” Among the top concerns raised by attendees about the letter: a failure to offer clear guidance on conducting a cost comparison and a failure to address what to do when a job could be considered “government only” but the need is immediate or the job isn’t a long-term requirement. Gordon said he is in “listening mode” and welcomed written comments on these and other concerns raised during the town-hall style meeting. PSC is preparing comments to send to Gordon by the June 1 deadline.
