President’s Letter

More than 50 years ago, PSC was formed to help the government and federal contracting industry work together and assist the government in performing better. As we reflect on the past five decades, I am humbled and proud of all that has been accomplished by PSC.

2022 was a year to appreciate our history but not to rest on our laurels. We stand ready to continue to serve you and your government customers as we strive to sustain a fairer and more competitive federal market that achieves the government’s missions.

What we have done over the past 12 months, and what is the work that faces us in 2023? Here are some of the key areas.

PSC consistently monitors the regulations, legislation, and initiatives across federal agencies and the administration that could impact you and your company’s success. You can learn more about PSC’s policy line of efforts on pg. 21.

PSC utilizes our councils for robust member engagement and our messages in the PSC Daily e-newsletter and the Service Contractor magazine for member and industry communication. Read about our council activities starting on pg. 22.

PSC raises issues regularly with federal agencies, including quarterly meetings with each of the FAR council principals and task force or committee meetings with many agency partners. You can read about these mission priority successes and more starting on pg. 12. On issues from executive orders to implementing legislation, PSC submits comments that reflect our members’ views on proposed rules and pending regulations. Check out our advocacy and meeting numbers on pg. 17.

PSC works closely with Congressional leaders and staff to support good ideas and resist bad ones. Read about the good ideas that made it into 2022 legislation in our government relations spotlight on pg. 19. (For obvious reasons, we don’t highlight the bad ideas that we were able to stave off.)

To do all of this and so much more, the PSC staff rely on our members to tell us what their issues are and to give us the information we need to work on and propose solutions for those issues, with the executive branch, the Congress, and the media where appropriate.

In the coming year, we will continue to work on legislation, regulations, advocacy, and communications. Beyond that, PSC will urge the White House and the agencies to increase their focus on implementation and execution of funding, programs, and contracts. With a divided Congress, it is vital for the government to perform the work that’s been planned, approved, and funded.

Through all of this, PSC will continue to be the voice of reason and the voice of industry on the Hill, with the agencies and the White House, and in the news media.

This report also highlights ways in which we are continuing our goal of improving our communications with you by providing timely and valuable intelligence and by expanding your opportunities to provide insights to us.

Here is our promise to you for 2023. You have a great team at PSC, working hard for you and with you. We aim to be your best advocate against all of the headwinds and challenges in government contracting today. With your support, with your input on the issues and the possible solutions, and with your engagement, we will see real successes.

In closing, all of us at PSC thank each and every PSC member for the privilege of working on your behalf. The future of America depends on a government that we can trust and a government that performs better. We know that the best way to do get that government is to help it take better advantage of all that government contractors have to offer. We will continue every day to help you make that happen.

Thank you.

Mission and Priority #1

Successes

Demonstrate the value of government contracting by highlighting companies’ effectiveness, innovation, efficiencies, and commitment to federal missions.

Engaged tirelessly with U.S. Government officials on key issues, such as the real-world impacts on government services contractors of higher-than-expected inflation, labor market volatility, and ongoing supply chain challenges.

Suggested necessary improvements for a common-sense approach to human resources and labor policies that support recruitment, retention, training, and promotion of contractor employees. A highly skilled, knowledgeable, dedicated, and diverse workforce is the backbone of every government services company, and PSC members employ hundreds of thousands of Americans in all 50 states and around the world to support federal missions.

Underscored the importance of lowering barriers to entry and maintaining healthy competition in order to attract new companies to the federal marketplace (and re-attract those who might have left in recent years). These efforts can, in turn, increase the types of innovation available to the federal government.Participated actively in frequent, open dialogue with U.S. Government officials on issues related to the Russian invasian of Ukraine, counterbalancing Chinese industrial activities, and ways in which the federal agencies can access emerging technologies and solutions.

Testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the challenges to the U.S. defense industrial base, including the impacts of inflation, the COVID-19 global pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and funding uncertainties, and on ways that industry, Congress, and the Defense Department can work together more effectively to address such challenges.

Worked to block harmful legislative proposals that would negatively impact contractor operations, including “blacklisting,” burdensome reporting requirements, and supply chain constraints.

Successfully advocated for legislative language on budget transparency (particularly in operations and maintenance accounts), flexible tools to surge capabilities when needed, and ways to address higher-than-expected inflation.

Held in-depth discussions with Government Accountability Office officials, providing government services perspectives on federal contractor competition at select agencies and personnel vetting processes (e.g., contractor suitability and fitness).

Mission and Priority #2

Successes

Help the government become a smarter buyer and better buyer by promoting an effective, competitive federal acquisition system

Supported legislation to make procurement more agile and worked with Congressional leaders to require government reports on agency efforts to monitor, and make publicly available, Procurement Administrate Lead Times. Concurrently, remained actively engaged with agencies to make PALT data more easily available to the public.

Published the 4th annual PSC Federal Business Forecast Scorecard, using 15 key attributes to assess the quality and transparency of 62 publicly-available, web-based agency procurement forecasts and worked with White House officials on using those forecasts to lower barriers to entry for companies who have not traditionally worked with the federal government. Of note, the General Services Administration (GSA) received the Scorecard’s highest marks for 2022 for its “acquisition gateway” system that allows users to sort information quickly to identify specific contracting opportunities.

Submitted 22 sets of comments to agencies regarding: inflation; government-wide acquisition contracts; minimizing the risk of climate change in federal acquisitions; climate disclosures; nondisplacement of qualified workers under services contracts; labor law violations; minimum wage for contractors; project labor agreements; employee data; employee and independent contractor classification; Department of Defense’s contract finance study; undefinitized contract actions; planning, collection, and submission of digital information; contract pricing requirements; noncommercial computer software; cyber incident reporting; and federal insurance response for catastrophic cyber incidents.

Joined other trade associations in 9 letters, comments, or white papers submitted to executive branch entities, including the White House, Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council, on issues of common interest.

Provided input to the Department of Defense on potential reforms to the foreign military sales process.

Engaged Congress on the impact of the legislation on, inter alia, organizational conflicts of interest, personal conflicts of interest, Russia, semi-conductors, inflation reduction, and changes in procurement policies.

Facilitated 6 Reverse Industry Days to provide industry perspectives on specific acquisition approaches and engaged actively with key Government officials on high-interest opportunities.

Promote technology and innovation by advocating for improved it acquisitions and cybersecurity programs.

Revitalized PSC efforts through the newly-renamed and refocused Technology and Innovation Council, which has an expanded Executive Advisory Board, new working groups and committees (e.g., Emerging Technologies Working Group), and refreshed relevance in this space.

Submitted detailed comments to multiple agencies (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Treasury’s Federal Insurance Office) on cyber incident reporting, potential federal insurance responses to catastrophic cyberattacks, cybersecurity resources, and protection of critical infrastructure.

Mission and Priority #3

Successes

Provided input to Congress on the need for appropriately robust investment in cyberscecurity and technology, especially sustained support for federal IT transformation and investments in modern commercial solutions – including but not limited to appropriations for the Technology Modernization Fund.

Engaged frequently with Dept of Defense officials on contractor cybersecurity risk mitigation, developments related to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and DoD’s Zero Trust strategy and roadmap. By sharing contractor input, lessons learned, and concerns, PSC aimed to shape government approaches so that contractors are not held to a higher standard than federal agencies themselves.

Continued strong PSC advocacy on IT modernization policies, programs, and resources, including engagement with congressional members and staff on legislative initiatives.

Remained vigilant on acquisition efforts in the technology space, such as the National Institutes of Health Information Technology Acquisition and ASsessment Center (NITAAC) CIO-SP4 government-wide acquisition contract vehicle and its implications for the federal IT community.

Mission and Priority #4

Successes

Communicated frequently with government and industry officials to the status of COVID-19 safety protocols for federal contractors and ensured PSC members’ awareness of developments that could impact their workforces, in part through maintaining an updated COVID-19 Resource Center on the PSC website.

With attention from senior DoD acquisition leaders and understanding that recommendations may apply in both defense and civilian agencies, established and led a multi-association Workforce Working Group to explore three lines of effort:

1. Shared DoD / industry workforce challenges (e.g., availability of talent pools, recruitment, retention)

2. Industry workforce challenges in which DoD plays a role (e.g., labor category requirements, security clearances)

3. DoD workforce challenges in which industry has a stake (e.g., qualified acquisition cadre)

Led bi-weekly discussions among industry officials on security clearance reform, provided clearance-related legislative proposals to Congress, and spoke with Hill and Government Accountability Office staff about contractor fitness and reciprocity issues.

Faciliated discussions with Defense Contract Audit Agency leaders on Paycheck Protection Program and incurred costs reports, as they pertain to personnel costs and employee retention during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Worked with the Department of Labor on key workforce issues, such as minimum wage requirements for federal contractors, nondisplacement of qualified workers under services contracts, employee and independent contractor classifications, and other wage/hour and labor law issues.

In addition to the above mentioned COVID-19 Resource Center, maintained resource centers on governemnt shutdowns, security clearance reforms, and inflation, allowing memebrs to access federal agency guidance, key PSC actions, and other relevant information on each topic.

Build workforces of the future to meet government missions by supporting more effective management of the total federal workforce.

Testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the health of the Defense Industrial Base, highlight current challenges for the DIB including the impacts of inflation, COVID, the war in Ukraine, and funding uncertainties.

Government Relations Spotlight

Successfully advocated for the enactment of an NDAA provision to increase transparency in DoD’s Operation and Maintenance accounts.

Worked to block harmful legislative proposals that would negatively impact contractor operations, including “blacklisting,” contract financing, and overseas contractors.

Provided feedback to Congress on the impact of proposal impacting contractors including inflation, supply chain, semiconductors, progress payments and small business government contracting.

Worked to secure enactment of provisions directing changes to the government-wide security clearances policies in the FY 22 Intelligence Authorization Act, including those to address government and industry information sharing and Trusted Workforce 2.0 oversight.

Highlighted key issues impacting contractors including cybersecurity and supply chain risk management, IT modernization, and FedRAMP.

Participated in IT Modernization Caucus Kick Off: “What Government Should Learn About IT Modernization from the Pandemic” and highlighted issues contractors faced as a result of COVID-19 including IT workforce and legacy systems challenges.

PSC Policy Lines of Effort

In early 2022, the PSC policy team developed priority areas to help ensure sufficient focus on those issues, policies, and opportunities of greatest interest and import to PSC member companies. The team identified four “lines of effort” that truly informed their work throughout the year: each set of comments in response to Federal Register or other notices, each letter to a federal agency, and each amicus brief/letter can be mapped to the following:

PSC Council Spotlight

Acquisition and Business Policy Council

The Acquisition and Business Policy Council (ABPC) is the principal body for developing PSC’s policy positions and mobilizing action on major business and buying policy initiatives across the U.S. federal government. ABPC fosters productive dialogue among stakeholders, whether federal civilian, military, industry, or other officials, and strives to improve federal services acquisition outcomes. This Council leverages regular meetings, timely information exchanges, and relevant programming to the benefit of both government officials and PSC members. ABPC also offers substantive feedback on issues highlighted within the federal rukemaking process to underscore the value of the government services contractor and to support policy and process improvements across the government.

Key Accomplishments

PSC Council Spotlight

Council of International Development Companies

The Council of International Development Companies (CIDC) meets monthly to create a dynamic and sustainable advocacy platform for U.S. development companies to pursue thought leadership and highlevel dialogue with USAID, the Department of State, Millennium Challenge Corporation, PEPFAR, the Development Finance Corporation, and other foreign assistance organizations. CIDC aims to educate audiences on the vital role international development companies play in achieving accountable, transparent and sustainable development results in support of U.S. national security, economic, and humanitarian goals overseas.

Key Accomplishments

Regular, high-level CIDC member engagement with senior federal foreign assistance officials on a wide range of issues including development strategy, innovation, operations, and localization

PSC Council Spotlight

Defense and Intelligence Council

The Defense and Intelligence Council (D&IC) leads PSC’s efforts with the intelligence community (IC), Office of the Secretary of Defense, military departments, and defense agencies. D&IC is the principal PSC forum for members to engage with federal government decision-makers and provide input on acquisition policies and programs. This group aims to:

• Facilitate productive dialogue between defense and intelligence officials and the industry partners that support them.

• Improve the acquisition environment within the DoD and the IC by reducing procurement cycle times, improving requirements processes, and dissuading inappropriate use of Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluations and labor rate tripwires.

• Shape business opportunities to support a healthy vibrant defense industrial base that has the capabilities and capacities to help the DoD and the IC achieve their national security missions.

Key Accomplishments

• Analyze and make recommendations on shared challenges, such as recruitment, retention, training, and promotion of a capable workforce, impacts of higher-thanexpected inflation, and accelerating as appropriate acquisition timelines to support surge requirements (e.g., Ukraine).

• Promote the services industry’s contributions and value through PSC thought leadership (e.g., op-eds, speaking engagements, congressional testimony).

• Planned and hosted the Defense Conference, with keynote addresses from Hon. Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy and Hon. Chris Lowman, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment.

• Led several multi-association sessions that involved DoD’s senior-most acquisition executives (e.g., Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, military service acquisition leaders) in constructive dialogue and information-sharing on priorities, policies, programs, and practical experiences.

• Participated in frequent meetings with DoD’s Office of Industrial Base Policy, regarding COVID-19 responses, security assistance to Ukraine, small business programs, and other timely procurement, regulatory, and policy issues.

• Engaged with Defense Contract Management Agency and other DoD leaders on cybersecurity contractor assessments and policy implementation issues across DoD, specifically Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification-related rulemaking and updates for federal contractors.

• Established a PSC-led industry forum with U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and engaged government and industry officials on defense industrial base support for NAVSEA requirements.

• Engaged with DoD on international cooperation issues; supported multiple meetings/events on foreign military sales reform efforts and other OSD engagements on Ukraine and U.S. defense industrial base support.

• Facilitate a productive dialogue between defense and intelligence government officials and the industry partners that support them.

• Improve the acquisition environment and innovation ecosystem at DoD and in the IC (e.g., help to streamline requirements for emerging technologies, monitor acquisition lead times).

• Suggest improvements to acquisition approaches as early as possible in the cycle to help set up opportunities for success.

• Contribute to effective training of the DoD and IC acquisition workforce by facilitating industry participation and input in Defense Acquisition University and National Defense University courses.

• Promote the industry’s contribution and value by building on PSC thought leadership through research, op-eds, speaking engagements, testimony, and social media.

• Refresh D&IC’s focus on critical, timely defense and intel issues and re-structure its task forces and working groups to reflect those new emphasis areas.

The Technology and Innovation (Tech & Innovation) Council is PSC’s principal arm for developing PSC’s positions and taking action on crosscutting technology issues, from cybersecurity and cloud computing to “as-a-service” acquisition and beyond. With technology issues increasingly permeating the professional services sector, the Tech & Innovation Council helps PSC members better navigate the market and policy landscape with reports and events such as the biennial Federal CIO Survey.

The Tech & Innovation Council engages in thought leadership and high-level dialogue with officials from federal government agencies and Congress on critical technology and innovation issues that could support existing and emerging U.S. Government requirements.

• Published the 13th edition of PSC’s Federal CIO Survey on January 25, 2022.

Feature: Federal CIO Survey

The Federal CIO Survey aims to gain an understanding of federal IT leaders’ top challenges and priorities, the forces that are driving change in government IT, and trends that reflect shifts in how agencies are developing and delivering tools and systems to deliver their missions to the nation’s businesses and citizens.
