CONTRACT MANAGEMENT: Taking a Strategic Approach to Improving Service Acquisitions

Abstract

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in today's hearing on H.R. 3832, the Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2002 (SARA). The bill's proposals focus on strengthening the acquisition workforce, moving toward a performance-based contracting environment, and improving the management of service acquisitions. As we testified 1 before you last November, our work shows that all these areas need attention, particularly in light of the government's increasing dependence on services.
