[quote=Anonymous]There is real RAND hater on this thread! FFRDCs and for profit contractors have different business models. The latter can serve as body shops and staff government offices. They do a huge amount of valuable staff work. FFRDCs are defined in the FAR: https://www.acquisition.gov/far/35.017 Government organizations are not legally allowed to give work to FFRDCs that are outside their mission. If a for-profit can do it, it should not go to an FFRDC. All the studies and analyses FFRDCs have serious PhD nerds who are happy doing studies. They are supposed to be independent and offer independent advice, but have the expertise and clearances necessary to do all kinds of work. These are long term investments made by the government in folks who can give good advice. I love dcum. Where else could I write about the FAR and know people will track? [/quote]
