What is Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) for Services?
• Federal Approach (Federal Acquisition Regulation)• Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) SEA Reporting Approach• The Composite Approach• A Mixed Approach • A Different Approach
![Page 9: This session is sponsored by the Federal Acquisition Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815249550346895dc0877e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Federal Approach
The purpose of PBC for services is to: “ensure that required performance quality levels are achieved and that total payment is related to the degree that services performed or outcomes achieved meet contract standards.”
FAR Sub Part 37.601 - General

The Composite Approach
“A performance-based contract is one that focuseson the outputs, quality and outcomes of service
provision and may tie at least a portion of a contractor’s payment as well as any contract
extensions to their accomplishment .”

Major Conclusions
1. PBC for services continues to be an underutilized procurement strategy
2. Reasons for Underutilization - Lack of trained procurement staff - Lack of understanding of PBC on the part of
key decision makers - Lack of understanding of PBC on the part of contractors
![Page 30: This session is sponsored by the Federal Acquisition Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815249550346895dc0877e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Major Conclusions
3. No general approach to PBC for services - PBC is more of an umbrella term - A mixed approach is most common - The GASB approach is used the least
4 . PBC service contracts frequently tie payments to performance, but not to contract renewals or new contracts
![Page 31: This session is sponsored by the Federal Acquisition Institute](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/56815249550346895dc0877e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Major Conclusions
5.Milestone contracting is the most common form of linking compensation to performance
6.A majority (60%) of governments use financial penalties
7. The future use of PBC for services is unclear: - More use (50.5%) - About the same (49.3%)
