Performance Strategy #3: Contracting

Reforming Contracting

Other Information:

The Federal Government contracted for approximately $550 billion of goods and services in 2009, more than one-sixth of all Federal spending, and double what the government spent on contracting in 2000. Despite being the world’s largest purchaser, we too often do not get the best prices or value for our money, and our contracting processes are slow and cumbersome. We are taking action to save money, reduce risk, and get better results.

Objective(s):

3.1: Contract Costs

3.2: Strategic Sourcing

3.3: Acquisition Workforce
