Reshaping Federal Contracting: A Conversation with Anne Rung, OFPP Administrator

Anne Rung wants to change how you do federal purchasing. Today, purchases and pricing are managed individually across thousands of procurement units. Rung’s vision? Manage entire categories of purchases collaboratively, cohesively and in sync across agencies. The result is a fundamental shift in how contractors experience competition and pursue partnerships.

OMB is also working to ensure that reform envisioned by the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) comes to fruition. CIO offices will have increased control of budget and governance, with IT provisions having a significant impact on the acquisition community.
