6.1.5: Better Buy Project Pilots Wiki

Open a dialogue for comments on the Better Buy Project.

Other Information:

The dialogue is open for comments on the Better Buy Project, a joint initiative of the National Academy of Public Administration, the American Council for Technology-Industry Advisory Council, and GSA. GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Office of Assisted Acquisition Services Federal Systems Integration and Management Center is piloting two acquisitions using ideas generated through the Better Buy Project. The Better Buy project is an online public dialogue that solicits advice on ways to use collaborative technology to improve federal government acquisition. During the first phase of the project, GSA sought input on a requirement to provide a data repository for Data.gov. The second phase of the BetterBuy Pilots is called "Clearpath". GSA is seeking input on the technical infrastructure for Clearpath hosting, and is developing the approach for future acquisition. This exercise is designed to test how we can use collaboration and social media to make the federal acquisition process more efficient and effective. GSA is testing this wiki, along with a new twitter account to update our status during phases of the project. http://www.betterbuyproject.org/
