Is Competitive Sourcing a procurement initiative?
No. Even though the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP)/OMB is managing this initiative, it is definitely not a procurement initiative. It is a management initiative that is an operational responsibility. Human resources, procurement, finance and budget and other disciplines are all needed to assist the agency in conducting its competitive sourcing activities and it is the responsibility of agency managers to assure this program is implemented.
