Memo to the President: Recommendations for performance and results in procurement

The federal government spends on the order of $450 billion a year buying goods and services—about 40 percent of federal discretionary spending.

1. Develop more information about contract performance
2. Pivot to the post-award stage
3. Expand forms of contracting that pay for success
