Area 5, entitled Promote Effective Competition, further identified emphasizing competition strategies and creating and maintaining competitive environments as an opportunity for improving our competitive posture within the Department. These guidelines are intended to complement and work in concert with the four overarching principles identified in BBP 2.0 to: 1) think and not default to the school solution; 2) attract, train and empower acquisition professionals; 3) start with the basics the acquisition fundamentals work; and 4) streamline decision making.
