Acquisition Policy, Technology, and Competitiveness Issue Area Plan Fiscal Years 1995-97

Abstract

The Acquisition Policy, Technology, and Competitiveness issue area is one of the General Accounting Office's 35 issue areas. Relying heavily on input from congressional committees, as well as industry, academia, agency officials, and other experts, GAO develops issue area plans to ensure that our resources are directed towards the most important concerns of the Congress. GAO serves as a source of timely, accurate information and unbiased analysis for decisionmakers in the Congress and executive agencies. For each issue area, GAO's strategic plan describes the significance of the issues, our objectives, and the focus of our work. Our work includes such products as reports, briefings, and testimonies. GAO's work in the Acquisition Policy, Technology, and Competitiveness issue area focuses on policies and processes of the Department of Defense (DOD) and civil agencies that are designed to make affordable acquisitions as well as sustain the health, technological leadership, and international competitiveness of the industrial base in a period of downsizing.
