Policy Committees:
Acquisition Policy Committee
The principal committee for developing PSC’s positions and
taking actions on major procurement and acquisition policy
issues. It focuses on procurement issues including multiple
award contracts, GSA schedules, best value, earned-value
management, time and materials contracting,
performance-based services, and other timely issues. The
committee fosters partnering initiatives with various
agencies and works toward an improved quality-driven
services acquisition process in the federal government.
Includes three
working groups.
Contract Finance and Cash Flow
Committee
Identifies issues and initiates advocacy actions on a range
of issues associated with government contract
payments/financing, cost accounting standards and cost
principles, government audit policy, and contract
reconciliation. Oversees PSC's partnership with DCMA, DCAA,
and DFAS.
General Counsels
Committee
Functions as an information resource for PSC member company
executives and, as issues warrant, publishes members-only
summaries of key legal trends or events that affect the
industry. The committee has also overseen the submission of
Amicus Curiae briefs on PSC’s behalf and has focused on
government contract compliance matters, issues related to
contractor employees deployed in zones of conflict, and
special human resources issues including those relating to
security clearances for contractor employees. Includes one
working group.
Government Affairs Committee
The GAC meets the first Friday of every month and is often
referred to as “the best information exchange in town.” Each
meeting features a special government guest discussing, on a
non-attribution basis, one or more critical legislative,
regulatory, or other policy issues. The second half of each
meeting is the information exchange, where up-to-date
information and materials on relevant issues and recent
policy developments are disseminated and discussed.
Human Resources Committee
Serves as PSC's principle forum for
addressing human resource policy issues affecting member
companies and the federal government, including attracting
and retaining employees, compensation policies, security
clearance practices, and more.
Services Industry Competitiveness Committee
Seeks to
define critical market issues and drivers affecting the
structure and competitiveness of the government services
industry and to identify areas in which PSC can and should
pursue policy or other changes in the government. Formed as
an outgrowth of the
CSIS study
on the structure and dynamics
of the U.S. federal professional services industrial base.
Board of
Directors Committees:
Annual Conference Committee
Responsible for planning the PSC annual conference that
focuses on current business trends, the economics and
federal business outlook for services, and other membership
concerns. Plans dynamic, timely programming, selects
speakers/ presenters, and guides the PSC staff on conference
logistics. The annual conference typically is held in late
September or early October.
Membership Committee
Recommends for membership companies that would offer a
mutual benefit to PSC, and develops and implements programs
to grow the membership. Assesses the needs and wishes of
current members to ensure their satisfaction with PSC
membership. Identifies trends in the industry that offer
opportunities for membership development.
