US General Services Administration: Changes Ahead
October 17, 2015
I read “David Shive: GSA Ramps Up IT Consolidation through Acquisition Process Updates, Analytics Adoption.” Then I read “Mary Davie: GSA Updates Federal Acquistion Gateway Platform.” Ah, memories of FAR. You are familiar with the rich, informative compendium known as Federal Acquisition Regulation.
The write ups indicate that changes are afoot at the GSA, where 18f.gov is busy inventing point-and-click Web site services and cloud computing.
According to the Shive write up:
“We are looking at our data management strategies so we can effectively coalesce that data, and putting good predictive analytics on top of that so that we can make good decisions about things that are happening, and predicting things that are going to happen and drive down costs for things like maintenance of infrastructure,” Shive told the station [part of ExecutiveGov maybe?] in an interview.
Efficiency in government is welcomed by those who have the opportunity to interact with the professionals at their stations. One innovation is interesting:
GSA is also working to implement a statement of work library for multiple procurement categories and the a click-and-pay service on the site.
No word about the search system, and not much information about who pays whom and for what.
