The Federal government’s procurement process has long been burdened with inefficiencies. The complexity of the process has resulted in major acquisition shortfalls because program management is undervalued, with procurement actions plagued by poor performance, cost overruns and schedule delays.

Procurement reform known as frictionless acquisition is now one of government’s cross-agency goals. Agencies, modeling commercial purchasing practices, are forging new paths to promote continual input and process improvement.

Join us to explore how government contracting officials are transforming the process to deliver commercial items at the same speed as the market place and manage customer delivery expectations for acquisitions.
