Acquisition policy overview

Acquisition policy serves as a change-agent to help create a procurement system which:

• Supports and promotes the achievement of federal business goals and strategies;
• Reduces federal overhead buying products and services at lower cost;
• Facilitates improved taxpayer service delivery by placing better quality, higher performing supplies, technology, and support service in the hands of federal managers;
• Is more efficient, timely, and customer focused;
• Produces better information to support planning and execution of the procurement function;
• Encourages the participation of all the nation's diverse human and business resources in a revitalized economy;
• Serves and protects the public interest; and
• Demands that the government's business be conducted under the highest ethical standards.
