A smaller government may cut the red tape, but it can only service a smaller number of client or citizens. Or offer far less. Furthermore, I can point you to SCRUM teams that are small, but are wildly inefficient. Size isn’t the root cause of inefficiency. The better take is why is the bidding process so opaque? Why the red tape and micromanaging? Most importantly: Would this still lead to a better outcome than motivated, short-term government employees? USDS was a 4 year(?) stint; I declined because I need stability in the private sector at this stage of my life and can’t move to DC, but if I were in my 20s I would’ve jumped at the chance. Edit: Well, not now but in 2019/2020. I can help you reason through the whys on the inefficiencies if you’re truly interested.
