Unmatched Advocacy

PSC’s top priority is advocacy on behalf of its membership—an area in which PSC has demonstrated unmatched credibility and effectiveness, both on Capitol Hill and throughout the federal agencies.

Working closely with members of Congress and their staffs, as well as with agency executives, PSC leads industry initiatives on significant legislative, regulatory, and other policy proposals covering the full range of issues affecting the industry. PSC’s advocacy agenda focuses on five areas:

The Customer Environment

PSC advocates for the balanced and effective utilization of the private sector to help meet the government’s growing missions and supports innovative solutions to the challenges faced by both the government and the services industry. The association’s agenda spans the full spectrum of procurement and acquisition policy, interagency and enterprise contracting, and related matters.

Ethics and Compliance

PSC promotes company programs that foster appropriate business conduct and compliance, as well as balanced policies to ensure appropriate transparency and accountability in the contracting process without imposing unreasonably burdensome or unfair requirements.

People

PSC supports efforts to enhance the training and professional development of the federal workforce, particularly in acquisition. PSC also advocates for appropriate and balanced approaches to challenges related to management, legal, security, and human capital issues of government and industry.

Industry Competitiveness

PSC advocates government acquisition strategies and policies that recognize the diversity of the federal services industrial base and optimize the ability of companies of all sizes and capabilities to participate in agency procurements, without punitive restrictions or administrative obstacles.

Broad Business Policies

PSC is actively engaged on a wide range of business issues that affect the costs or risks of doing business with the government.
