Policy changes that are shaping government procurement

Larry Allen, GSA’s associate administrator for the Office of Government-wide Policy , joins Off the Shelf for an engaging procurement policy discussion. Allen addresses the ongoing changes in policy that are shaping procurement operations government-wide. Much of the discussion focuses on the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO), highlighting the policy goals and operational imperatives driving the RFO. Allen also highlights the progress to date and shares key takeaways regarding recent deviations addressing FAR parts 8 and 12. He also gives an update on procurement consolidation, and the impact of the Schedules program moving to Transactional Data Reporting (TDR) and the resulting demise of the Price Reduction Clause (PRC). Finally, Allen explains the wide-ranging policy management role his office plays in supporting department and agencies across government. See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
