This was a vote on an amendment by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD) to legislation authorizing funding for Defense Department programs in 2011 that barred the federal government from contracting out services that would otherwise be performed by federal employees without determining that such a contract would result in savings for taxpayers. In addition, the amendment required all federal agencies to conduct an inventory of their existing government contracts. The amendment required those inventories to specify the total amount of federal money spent on each contract. The inventories were also required to identify contracted services that had been “poorly performed,” either due to excessive cost or inferior quality. The amendment also required the inventories to identify government contracts in which services should be “insourced,” or transferred to government employees. |
