White Paper

Transforming from an M&O to a Performance-based Contract

With the release of the Mission Support Contract (MSC) at the Hanford site, the government had the vision to recognize the benefits of change. And, through proven performance, the MSC scope transitioned to a performance-based contract structure with usage-based services. The evolution is paying tangible dividends.
