For essential services, the government should be paying competitive salaries with the private industry. Contracting rarely makes things cheaper due to all the grift and lack of persistent oversight.

The government probably needs to build a whole new pay schedule for tech workers because they just don’t fit into the General Schedule. This would require an act of congress and I think they are going to have a hard time making the decision to pay government tech workers more than people like the director of the FBI, secretary of defense, senators, etc.
