Want to end a program and eliminate an entire office tomorrow to meet new budget constraints? If they're contractors, it can be done (but may cost extra to pay the early termination fines). Can the same be said about an office full of GS that aren't being eliminated for poor performance?
As Ret10E mentioned, the immediate cost of a GS may be lower, but the long term costs of the GS will likely exceed the contract rate over the same time period, even considering overhead charges and award fees (if applicable).
Back to the OP...if there's a question of the contract team's ability to perform the work, go ahead and end the contract tomorrow. Get rid of all of 'em, and save all that money. Just don't bitch and whine when the work load becomes unmanageable for the authorized manpower levels.
