Contracting Out (or Outsourcing) is the use of external resources (including retired Federal employees) to deliver services that would normally be carried out by Federal Government Employees. Our members have reported an ever increasing number of situations where external contractors are being engaged in this manner. This type of activity has both short and long term impacts on the NR work force.
