OFPP Administrator gives ‘frictionless acquisition’ a boost on his way out the door

When it came to federal acquisition policy, the four years of the Trump administration could be considered a time of Laissez-faire.

There were only four acquisition memos signed off by the director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that didn’t deal with the COVID-19 pandemic in the past 48 months.  Sure acquisition was part of many, if not all, of the technology memos and the data strategy memos, but those that addressed federal procurement and only federal procurement, were few and far between.
