ITI Reacts to Trump Administration’s Federal Procurement Executive Orders
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association ITI Executive Vice President of Policy Gordon Bitko reacted to U.S. President Trump’s Executive Orders aimed at streamlining the Federal Acquisition Regulation and modernizing public procurement.
“The tech industry has long called for simplification of the federal procurement process and the adoption of cutting-edge commercial technologies to enhance government efficiency. The new Executive Orders are a step in the right direction. By collaborating with procurement experts across government and industry, this effort will help elevate public private partnerships, reduce waste, and ensure continuous progress by the government towards modern, commercial off-the-shelf solutions that represent the best of private sector innovation.
“Federal agencies increasingly rely on the innovative capabilities that the tech industry offers to serve the American public effectively. By leveraging secure commercially available products and services, the U.S. government can benefit from faster implementation, continuous security updates amid constant cyber threats and rapid technological change, and improved cost efficiency.”
