4. Context for the Efficiency • Congressional interest in workforce management • Applicable laws • Related initiatives • Inventory of Contracts for Services • Budget Justification Requirement • In-sourcing • Civilian Workforce Freeze • Service Support Contractor Reduction • Reporting

5. Congressional Interest Laws • Section 2330a of Title 10 • Section 235 of Title 10 • Section 8108 of the FY 2011 Appropriation Act Requirements • Service Contract Inventory • The FY 2011 NDAA added greater responsibility for USD(P&R) and USD(C) • Specification of Contract Services in Budget Justification Materials • Funding • FTE • Requires Navy and Air Force to leverage Army’s Reporting System • Requires a D-W Plan These laws require the collaboration across the Contracting, Manpower and Budget Communities.

6. FY10 Reduction for In-sourcing $900M Total Increase from FY09 = $6B $248B CONTRACTED SERVICES Per Capita Costs will not go down. We must reduce the inventory by challenging military essentiality of the growing support tail – covert to CIV or eliminate. $150B MILPERS Default target for “savings” – but pressure here often creates unintended fiscal “consequences” in other areas $72B CIVPERS $B National Defense Budget Estimates for FY2011 (“Current Dollars”) – BASE and OCO $$ OUSD(P&R) – Requirements and Program and Budget Coordination Directorate

7. Inventory of Contracts for Services • The first inventory was submitted for FY 2007 • The FY 2009 inventory of contracts for services was submitted to Congress on July 20, 2010 • Submitted for Defense Components with contracting authority (20 out of 65 with manpower requirements) • Reported 767 thousand FTEs and $155 billion obligated dollars covering all appropriations • The 2010 inventory preparation underway • AT&L following the process they used for the 2009 inventory • Within 90 days of submitting the inventory, review of contracts in the inventory for appropriateness • Future concern for collecting and reviewing contractor direct labor hours

8. Budget Justification Requirement • SEC 803 of the FY 2010 NDAA modified Title 10 SEC 235 to require the Department to submit with the annual budget justification • The amount of funding requested for the procurement of contract services • The associated estimate of contractor full-time equivalents • Changes made for the FY 2012 President’s Budget • Expanded OP 32 requirement to all accounts • Aligned OP 32 lines to object class and sub object class • Required reporting of contractor FTEs in the O&M OP 5 • A summary exhibit of this data was included in the O&M overview book

10. Status of In-sourcing • Original April 2009 initiative establishedgoal of in-sourcing 33,254 contractor positions by FY 2014 • 17,000 new positions were created in FY 2010, 50% of these were considered inherently governmental or otherwise exempt • The Civilian workforce freeze will slow in-sourcing • Components must ensure compliance with sourcing inherently governmental work • Work must be prioritized within established cap by shifting manpower from lower priorities • Prohibition on converting work currently performed by civilians to private sector without first conducting a public-private competition • Moratorium on conducting public-private competitions

11. Civilian Workforce Freeze • The original guidance for a civilian workforce freeze was to the OSD staff and Defense Agencies • The guidance was expanded to the Military Services during the FY 2012 budget review • Some exceptions were given • Acquisition workforce • Joint Basing • Intel increases • Navy depot maintenance • Overall direction to reduce civilian and contractor staffing This does not mean work can be out-sourced

12. Service Support Contractor Reduction • Original perception was the contractor workforce should have declined with the in-sourcing initiative but appeared to have grown • The Secretary directed a reduction in service support contractors of 10 percent per year over the next 3 years from the reported FY 2010 level • Defined service support contractors as contract personnel who provide support as staff augmentation • This definition did not align to a specific object class so a survey was completed to gather the universe of these contracts • The reduction was applied to a base of 26 thousand FTEs and $4.3 billion • Annual savings of over $400 million and $6 billion over the FYDP

14. Service Support Contractor Reporting • OUSD(C) and CAPE memo signed May 6 • The original survey will be updated to identify what contracts have been eliminated, reduced or added • Therevised survey will be used to report the status of this efficiency initiative to the OUSD(C) and DCMO • Future initiatives will examine aligning service support contractors to specific object classes with the intent of removing manual data calls

15. Contract Services Future Direction • The pressure to account for how the Department prioritizes and resources functions and activities will not diminish • The goal is to have the right balance of military, civilian and contractor workforce • There will be continuing interest in what services the Department is contracting for • Continue to improve the inventory of service contracts • Continue to improve the budget justification material to clearly identify the funding and FTEs for contractor services • Ensure the reporting mechanisms for the inventory and budget are integrated • Improvements will necessitate coordination across the manpower, contracting and budget communities

16. President’s Speech on Deficit Reduction(April 13, 2011) • Secretary Gates has shown over the last 2 years that there is substantial waste and duplication in our security budget that we can and should eliminate – proposing savings of $400 billion in current and future defense spending. • The framework sets a goal of holding the growth in base security spending below inflation while ensuring our capacity to meet our national security responsibilities, which would save $400 billion by 2023 • The President will make decisions on specific cuts after working with Secretary Gates and the Joint Chiefs on the Comprehensive Review
