Off the Shelf

The latest procurement news


Listen Later

Alan Thomas, founder of Alpha Tango Strategies, and Bill Gormley of the Gormley Group, join Off the Shelf for a wide-ranging update on the latest procurement news. 

Thomas and Gormley provide their insights and viewpoints on the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul, the creation of the Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS) at GSA, and GSA’s OneGov initiative. 

They highlight the changes to FAR part 8 and significance of the move of the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) ordering procedures to the General Services Acquisition Regulation (GSAR). 

Thomas and Gormley also discuss the new role of mandatory use or required contracts and the impact on the Best-in-Class contracts. Do we need the BIC methodology? 

The discussion then turns to OCAS and its scope of operations and the challenges in standing up the new organization.

Finally, Thomas and Gormley give their thoughts on OnGov, harkening back to the Smart Buy program and the use of FSS BPAs.
