ABPC: Smart Contracting Working Group

ABPC: Smart Contracting Working Group
  August 23, 2018
2-3:30pm 
PSC Office
(4401 Wilson Blvd., Suite 1110 Arlington, VA 22203)

At its next meeting on Thursday, August 23, the Smart Contracting Working Group (SCWG) will address PSC’s proposed recommendations to the VA’s Strategic Acquisition Center (SAC) on improving RFIs and evaluation criteria; potential feedback to OMB to enhance its guidance for agencies in the event of a lapse in appropriations and government shutdown; and input for comments in support of “Acquisition 360” surveys. The SCWG is also seeking ideas for new projects to help improve agency acquisition and guest speakers of interest for upcoming meetings. As always, PSC will provide a brief update on the latest policy developments and our advocacy activities

 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.
