Thanks, what I'm not quite getting is that the other contractors are listed. What seems to get lost is that the GSA doesn't select the contractors, they just list them.
The connecting dot that's missing is why agencies choose the more expensive option when it benefits the GSA, not the agency using their schedule.
For the perverse IFF incentive structure logic to hold true, it seems like GSA would be incentivized to approve rate increases across the board. Why just McKinsey?
In other words, the GSA sets the contract but not the order. If there are cheaper contracts available in place on the GSA schedule, I would think agencies are incentivized to choose the lower bid.
edit: mistakenly stated "agencies" instead of "contractors" regarding what gets listed
