In a memorandum issued late last month by Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Anne Rung, the Obama administration wants to make at least one certification process a bit easier for chief acquisition officers and senior procurement executives.

In the Oct. 23, 2015 memo, the Office of Management and Budget said federal agencies can enter into reciprocity agreements that recognize the Earned Value Management System certifications granted by other agencies.

“Agencies are encouraged to enter into reciprocal agreements with other agencies and to post their EVM processes and procedures on their public websites,” said the new guidance.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has issued a new Earned Value Management Systems Interpretation Guide, which aims to pull together and streamline DoD rules for evaluating contractors’ earned value management systems (EVMS) compliance.

According to DoD, the Guide seeks to:

Reduce compliance burdens by promoting consistent application of EVMS compliance assessments across DoD,
Emphasize the need for clear and measurable technical objectives for planning, performance measurement, and managing the baseline, and
Show how program-unique management practices can be consistent and compliant with broader EVMS guidelines.

The Guide provides DoD interpretation of the 32 guidelines contained in EIA-748 and is to be used as the basis for DoD’s assessments of EVMS compliance with the 32 Guidelines in accordance with DFARS Subpart 234.2 and 234.201.
