The current transition to Performance Based Service Acquisition (PBSA) and Multiple Award Contracts (MACs) have profound impact on program cubes, and many organizations are venturing concurrently into these strategies for the first time. The intent of PBSA is to maximize performance, innovation, and competition often at a savings."
