I know quite a few senior (ish) consultants in Oracle who were billed at 3x this.
It makes sense that they give the feds a different rate though - I would assume federal contracts last much longer than a lay customer (3x longer?).
- bmelton 15y agoI might be missing something, but the NY CIO is state, not federal. That said, while they likely have their products sold on some sort of GSA schedule, they're allowed relative carte blanche for their rates. That said, I doubt that this is far out of date, or far off the mark for what they charge as standard consulting fees based on recent work with both parties.
- alttag 15y agoIt may just depend on how the contracts were structured. For example, in the OP, travel, room and board were billed separately. As you pointed out too, this contract was for 10 years, so there was probably a discount built in as part of a competitive bid.
