This is probably a dumb question but does "Professional Services" mean?
Sounds like you've never had to endure Amateur Services.
Beginner Services was terrible! It's like they didn't know what they were doing!!!
Journeyman services are really where its at: experienced enough to get it done, but still humble enough to show some enthusiasm.
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.
White collar contractors.
