But to be clear, a) the OPM is not an "obscure agency within the White House", it's basically the HR agency for the federal civilian workforce, b) it is not outsourced ( I know this isn't in the OP, but in one of the replies).

Although OPM did outsource background investigations for security clearances, that's just a piece of what OPM does.
