New Deal for Contracting« Thread Started on Nov 9, 2007, 7:12pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------New Deal for ContractingBy Stephen BarrFriday, November 9, 2007; Page D01 read at source> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... newsletter
The Senate has approved a bipartisan bill to tighten up scandal-prone contracting practices across government, spurred by the troubled cleanup after Hurricane Katrina and wasteful spending on Iraq war reconstruction. The bill would mandate steps to strengthen the federal acquisition workforce, which was hollowed out in the 1990s by budget cuts and downsizing. It would also establish a government-wide acquisition intern program to help recruit contract specialists and create an executive position in the Office of Management and Budget to oversee and nurture the acquisition workforce.
