In-Sourcing Update
Editor’s note: The following excerpts from internal LaRC Charts show the planning and implementation process for “in-sourcing” – i.e. bringing contractor work in-house to keep civil servants employed. Of course, this means that the contractors who used to do that work will now be laid off.
Mission Directorate Budget Guidlelines have been issued to the centers.
Centers are currently working to understand the marks and determine level of civil service available for new work (AFNW)
Current estimate is that civil service AFNW will be between 1225 to 2000
