There are today no fewer than six significant acquisition review/reform efforts underway.
They include:
- A major effort being jointly undertaken by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees.
- The Defense Department’s reviews of high-cost/low-value compliance and reporting requirements and soon to be released Better Buying Power 3.0.
- A “bottom-up” acquisition review directed by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson.
- A continuing effort to develop IT acquisition reform legislation in the Senate
- The recently launched OMB crowdsourcing effort focused on improving acquisition.
Obviously, there will be a lot of overlap even as each (hopefully) seeks to break some new ground. After all, there shouldn’t be much debate about the need to substantially transform the acquisition landscape.
