ITI: Biden Administration Contracting Initiative Offers Real Reforms for Tech Procurement
WASHINGTON – Today, ITI welcomed the launch of the Biden Administration’s Better Contracting Initiative (BCI), a new effort to improve how federal agencies procure innovative technologies and leverage data to make smart buying decisions. The initiative reflects ITI’s recommendations for reforming the federal acquisition process. ITI was among the industry leaders at the White House’s launch of the BCI this morning.
“ITI applauds the Biden Administration’s efforts to drive real reforms for technology procurement through the Better Contracting Initiative, including workstreams to promote smart data management and streamlined contract methods,” said Gordon Bitko, ITI’s Executive Vice President for Public Sector Policy. “U.S. government access to the critical information technologies that drive both the public and private sectors is essential for an effective government, and we appreciate being part of this important dialogue. ITI looks forward to working with the Biden Administration, the General Services Administration, and other federal agencies in achieving these important goals.”
