Some agencies are having trouble adjusting to the government’s new rules for putting federal jobs up for competition with private firms, federal procurement chief Angela Styles said Monday.
A pay-for-performance system could be included in a forthcoming plan to reform the U.S. Postal Service, most likely encompassing both employees and managers.
The revised A-76 circular sets tight deadlines for agencies to finish public-private job competitions, but scraps a policy that allowed agencies to turn over work to private contractors without first letting federal employees compete for their jobs.
