Insourcing Information

GESTA received a response on August 11th to a request for information (RFI) we submitted on July 30th about the nature and details of any ongoing insourcing activities at NASA Goddard in which civil servant’s job duties are being reassigned to replace those of contractors being let go. Center HR responded to us that “The RFI was submitted to ETD [Engineering and Technology Directorate], and subsequently that organization notified us that they are no longer pursuing the insourcing activities referenced in the RFI…“. This response and status is contradicted by information GESTA has continued to receive from its members via branch level management about ongoing insourcing actions or plans. Please let us know if your branch is continuing to plan or has already implemented any insourcing actions. If you have received any documentation or have written notes from your branch meetings those are also helpful.
