Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyFederal agencies spent more than half a trillion dollars in fiscal year 2011 through contracts to acquire goods and services in support of their missions, but have historically faced significant acquisition management challenges preventing them from getting the best return on their investments. The SARA legislation requires 16 federal civilian agencies to appoint a Chief Acquisition Officer to advise and assist agency leadership to help ensure that the agency's mission is achieved through the management of its acquisition activities. GAO was asked to examine: (1) how agencies have filled the CAO position; (2) the extent to which CAOs are involved in performing the acquisition management functions set forth in the SARA legislation and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance; and (3) what challenges, if any, agency CAOs report in fulfilling their responsibilities. GAO administered a questionnaire to 16 CAOs, reviewed documentation on CAOs' roles and responsibilities, organizational placement, and backgrounds, and interviewed a number of CAOs and other acquisition officials.What GAO RecommendsGAO recommends that the Administrator of OMB's Office of Federal Procurement Policy work with the CAO Council to issue guidance directing agencies to more clearly define CAOs' roles and responsibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the top priorities for both the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff is 'Recapturing Acquisition Excellence.' The most effective way to reach this goal is through a talented, knowledgeable, and exceptional acquisition workforce. While there are plans to improve the acquisition workforce, we are currently not doing enough to develop our acquisition officers, specifically scientists, engineers, and program managers. The AF must ensure it has the right policies and practices to shape which young officers enter the AF in these career fields. Once the right type of acquisition officers are placed into the right organizations at the right amount, we must ensure we focus on the critical stage of their development: when officers are young lieutenants and captains. Proper development at this junior stage must focus on supervision, training, and career broadening assignments. While early development is critical, we must also continue to develop acquisition officers as they grow into majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels. These senior acquisition officers must be given the promotion and leadership opportunities to enable them to be leaders both in the acquisition corps, as well as across the AF. Through focused development, the AF will have a capable, motivated, intelligent acquisition officer corps ready to lead the DoD acquisition community and better able to recapture AF acquisition excellence."--Abstract.
Download or read book Are Law and Policy Clear and Consistent written by Daniel Gonzales and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The roles and responsibilities of defense acquisition officers and Department of Defense (DoD) chief information officers are governed by U.S. laws and specified in more detail by a growing and complex body of DoD policy. The authors identify policy governing the design, acquisition, and integration of information technology (IT) and national security systems (NSS) that could lead to potential conflicts among these executives when they exercise their duties in the defense acquisition system. They examine the sources of these conflicts, and find that conflicts in the DoD acquisition process have occurred in the areas of setting IT standards and developing an IT architecture. Recent changes in DoD policy have reduced the potential for conflict in IT architecture development; however, the potential for conflict remains in the DoD standard-setting process. The authors recommend changes to DoD policy that can resolve these conflicts. --From publisher description.
