Air Force Space Command is reviewing contractor positions to determine if they are eligible for in-sourcing as government civilian positions to meet Department of Defense goals outlined last year.
In fiscal year 2010, AFSPC established 285 civilian positions to perform work currently being performed by contractors across the entire command; as part of the approximately 4,500 civilian positions expected to be established Air Force-wide in FY2010.
Approximately 1,800 AFSPC new civilian positions are expected to be created through in-sourcing contracts through FY2015; with the Air Force projecting approximately 14,000 new civilian positions Air Force-wide during the same period. In-sourcing is not a one-for-one conversion from contractor to civil service positions; the final number of AFSPC civilian positions will be approximately 75 percent of the total number of contractor positions in-sourced, depending on the mission being insourced.
