    Usually it means consulting provided by an outside vendor. So in this case I think they are saying the government hires a lot of services from other companies. Probably to augment their own work.

      Examples include consultants, Managed Service Providers, financial services, staffing firms, HVAC companies, and lawyers. So yeah, workforce augmentation and anything you don’t want to keep in house for one reason or another.
