Strategic sourcing comes to procurement of services

This is the next step in the consolidation and bundling of services- without using the words consolidation and bundling. This is a natural progression. We do it ourselves. We figure out what we need a lot of and buy it in bulk at Costco or Sam's Club or BJ's Wholesale. We don't have a lot of personal experince at services...perhaps if neighbors shared a lawn service, they may get a cheaper rate. I may have to think a little longer on a services example.

Regardless, it may be a good thing for federal procurement, but preference programs and overseers will not let this occur easily.
