Major Acquisition Reform Goals
Save $40 billion in contract spending • Reduce contractor spending by 7% (3.5% in
2010 and in 2011) by identifying wasteful,
inefficient, or ineffective programs.
Increase contracting transparency
• Reduce the combined use of ”high-risk
contracts,” e.g. no-bid contracts and costbased contracts, on new contract actions by
10% (over FY08 baseline).
Insource “inherently governmental”
work
• Clarify “inherently governmental” and
consider in-sourcing.
Increase the acquisition workforce
• Grow the acquisition workforce by 5% and
increase expertise.
Centralize IT acquisitions
• Centralization of key IT services
• Federal eMall for smaller purchases

INPUT’s Take
There is still reason to be optimistic. Although overall government spending
may contract, IT has some level of immunity for a number of reasons:
•
•
•
•
Historical spending trends
Initiatives and objectives dependent on IT
Slow pace of insourcing; IT expertise is a major gap for government
Other low-hanging fruit for spending cuts (e.g. weapons systems, manual
processes, non-IT professional services, physical security, etc.)
“Near-term” technology priorities revolve around:
• Leveraging shared services (e.g. cloud computing, data center consolidation, geospatial
technologies);
• Automating processes to improve delivery of citizen services;
• Advancing information security: move to real-time security, improved ID management,
cyber incident sharing; and
• Investing in technology infrastructure to reduce costs and energy consumption
Security requirements will become much more robust (e.g., legislation,
Cyberscope, FedRamp, etc.)
• Congress still appears hesitant to put “teeth” into security compliance (e.g. cyber
coordinator budget control, security plan approval, etc.)

Recommendations
Track agencies’ tech refresh cycles; likely target for investments to
support cloud computing, virtualization, green electronics, etc.
Pay close attention to Congressional activity:
• Be aware of the technology and policy implications of the numerous bills coming out of
Congress
• Election year will likely mean not much major budget cutting will occur until after
elections
Keep an eye on agencies with significant changes to
or expansion of mission for opportunities:
• VA – Projected expans
• IRS and HHS – health care reform (kicking in at the tail end of the forecast period)
Anticipate future compliance requirements as a requirement to do
business with government, such as: security of operations, carbon
footprint, financial records related to government-funded projects
