FY 2007 Budget in BriefProgram Support CenterOn this page: Program Support Center
The Program Support Center (PSC) provides customer-focused administrative services and products for the Department of Health and Human Services. The PSC was created to streamline and minimize duplication of traditional administrative services. The PSC provides services on a competitive, fee-for-service basis to customers throughout HHS, as well as to 14 other Executive departments and 20 independent Federal agencies. The activities and services of the PSC are supported through the HHS Service and Supply Fund, a revolving fund. The Fund does not receive appropriated resources, but is funded entirely through charging its customers for their use of services and products. Services are provided in five broad areas: human resources, financial management, administrative operations, strategic acquisitions, and health care resources. The customers of the PSC include HHS agencies and other Federal agencies and organizations, such as components of the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and the U.S. Postal Service. Administrative Operations ServiceThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Administrative Operations Service (AOS) are $151 million, an increase of $5 million above FY 2006. AOS provides a wide range of administrative and technical services within the Department, both in headquarters and in the regions, and to customers throughout the Federal Government. The major areas of service are real and personal property management, technical support and communications management, management of regional contracts for administrative support, and management of Cooperative Administrative Support Units in three cities government-wide (New York City, Kansas City, and Denver). Federal Occupational Health ServiceThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Federal Occupational Health Service (FOHS) are $193 million, an increase of $6 million above the FY 2006 level. The increase of $6 million represents anticipated increased reimbursements from other Federal agencies. The FOHS provides occupational health services for Federal employees, including health and wellness programs, employee assistance, work/life, and environmental health and safety services. Over 1,500,000 Federal employees in 45 Federal departments and agencies are serviced by FOHS. Financial Management ServiceThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Financial Management Service (FMS) are $86 million, an increase of $26 million above FY 2006. The increase of $26 million represents the transfer of UFMS operations and maintenance support. Beginning in FY 2007, FMS will provide operations and maintenance support for the Department's Unified Financial Management Services. Prior to FY 2006, operations and maintenance support was provided by the UFMS Project Management office. FMS supports the financial operations through the provision of fund accounting, disbursement, financial reporting, financial statement preparation, payroll accounting, and debt management and collection services; support for Federal grantor and contracting agencies for the negotiation and approval of indirect cost, fringe benefits and other speciality rates used by not-for-profit organizations receiving Federal awards; and grant disbursement, cash management, and grant accounting support services. Human Resources ServiceThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Human Resources Service (HRS) are $66 million, the same as FY 2006. HRS provides an extensive array of personnel systems, administration and management, training, and payroll liaison services. These include compensation and medical benefits for Commissioned Corps officers, liaison services between the new civilian payroll service provider (DFAS) and HHS employees, automated personnel and time and attendance systems support, equal employment opportunity, workforce development, and training management. Strategic Acquisition ServiceThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Strategic Acquisition Service (SAS) are $79 million, the same as FY 2006. The SAS is responsible for providing leadership, policy, guidance, and supervision to the procurement operations of the PSC and for improving procurement operations within HHS. The SAS provides strategic sourcing services; acquisition management; and provides pharmaceutical, medical, and dental supplies to HHS and other Federal agencies. The SAS will streamline procurement operations in HHS through activities such as the reduction of duplicate contracts, the use of consolidated contracts, and implementation of new procurement practices designed to provide higher quality procurement services at reduced cost. Human Resources CentersThe FY 2007 estimated expenses for the Human Resources Center (HRC) are $53 million, an increase of $2 million above FY 2006. The HRC represents a consolidation of human resources services within the Department, with sites located in Rockville, Baltimore, and Atlanta. The centers provide human resources strategic programs, customer service, and workforce relations support for HHS customers. The HRC serves as the principal advisor to customer organizations on matters related to strategic human capital planning, recruitment and placement, position classification and management, compensation and pay administration, executive resources, workforce planning, labor and employee relations, employee services, and employee benefits, entitlements and advisory services. |
