Do you have any idea the hoops that you have to jump through to be an approved federal contractor? (I’ve been through that process, becoming an approved contractor for Apple is the only more tedious process I’ve ever seen.) I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s extraordinary when an federal employee leaves their position and immediately become direct contractor to the federal government without an intermediary. Beyond the hoops required to become an approved federal contractor, the federal government contracts out specific jobs/duties, not positions. They contract with XYZ Company to provide technical support for abc functions. Not 40 hours a week that meets a specific job description.[/quote]
So you’re saying it’s a $600 Mil spec hammer.
I’ve been on both sides of the fence in large companies.
Again, the big money is going direct. Other than that, in large corporations, frankly, a lot of the contractors are gravy boat, lazy management, or short sighted.
In the defense industry, a lot of the contractors simply because the government contract to the company is cost plus…
