Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Energy (DOE) contracts with private companies and educational institutions to manage and operate 18 of its 22 laboratories. These are cost reimbursement contracts under which DOE pays all of its contractors' allowable costs. DOE can also provide a fee, or profit, to a contractor for managing a laboratory. Responding to criticism that its historical contracting practices were costly and inefficient, DOE switched to performance-based contracts in 1994 as part of its contract reform program. Use of these contracts allows DOE to structure each contract to provide a clear statement of what needs to be accomplished-rather than providing broad statements of work-and to rely on performance measures to evaluate a contractor's progress toward meeting its objectives. An important feature of performance-based contracting is providing incentives, including fees, to the contractor's achievement of objectives as a means of encouraging superior performance and lowering costs. Concerned about the progress made to implement performance-based contracting at the national laboratories, you asked us to assess the status of performance-based contracting in DOE'S national laboratory contracts, and identify efforts being made to determine the impact of performance-based contracting.

This book was released on 2001-01-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study outsourcing is defined as the organizational practice of contracting for services from an external entity while retaining control over assets and oversight of the services being outsourced. In the 1980s, a number of factors led to a renewed interest in outsourcing. For private sector organizations, outsourcing was identified as a strategic component of business process reengineering-an effort to streamline an organization and increase its profitability. In the public sector, growing concern about the federal budget deficit, the continuing long-term fiscal crisis of some large cities, and other factors accelerated the use of privatization measures (including outsourcing for services) as a means of increasing the efficiency of government.
