[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The demand signal for a lot of FFRDC work changes fast and substantially (for example, focusing on terrorism to great power competition to immigration enforcement). It’s hard for FFRDCs to keep quality labor around if there’s no stability in work so the only options are to expand portfolios so you have a place to park this expertise until they are needed or increase overhead to pay for them.[/quote]I believe FFRDC contracts shouldn't be allowed to be pure IDIQs. They need to have some floor STE/FTE/dollar amount/... so there's a baseline stability, so the Feds have skin in the game, and FFRDC employees/FFRDCs can be more beholden to their mission - do what's right for the Government no matter what the Fed project manager thinks.[/quote] I agree with you. Isn’t they what core funding does? Sadly, that’s been under attack too.[/quote]
