VA Seeks Info on Acquisition Best Practices
The VA Strategic Acquisition Center – Frederick, MD is seeking PSC feedback on how they can improve their acquisition process and engage with industry. They are looking to re-imagine how they conduct services procurements (non-IT), and to identify examples of poorly written prior solicitations along with suggestions for improvements. We are engaging PSC’s Smart Contracting Working Group (SCWG), Veterans Affairs Task Force (VATF), and Vision Market Forecast VA team to respond to this request. More information is available here. If you have specific ideas or comments that you would like for us to include, please send your feedback to Bradley Saull before August 9.
 
The Smart Contracting Working Group within PSC’s Acquisition and Business Policy Council (ABPC) was formed to look for opportunities to improve the federal procurement system that would benefit both government and industry. Commonsense policies and consistently applied procedures for how and when the government acquires services can greatly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the federal acquisition system. In many areas, improvements to government business and buying policy—whether through statute, regulations, or agency guidance—will lead to positive outcomes that far exceed the magnitude of the changes themselves.

About ABPC
The Acquisition and Business Policy Council is the principal body for developing PSC’s positions and taking action on cross-cutting, major acquisition policy issues. Its focus encompasses wide-ranging issues such as multiple award and schedules contracts, the role of contractors, federal acquisition workforce development, commerciality, contract type and competitiveness, requirements development and evaluation strategies, alternative acquisition models, internal and external communication, and industrial base health and competition. The Acquisition and Business Policy Council fosters formal and informal partnerships with policymakers and allied stakeholders, and works toward an outcome-oriented federal services acquisition process through regular meetings, timely programs, and various other avenues.
