Yesterday, PilieroMazza filed comments with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy on the proposed new Office of Management and Budget Circular issued on October 7, 2016, 81 Fed. Reg.
Included in our comments are: -
Aspects of the Circular Require Clarification -
We recognize that OFPP sees a value in Category Management and intends to institutionalize Category Management principles across the Government. However, clarification of the Government’s approach, as set forth in the proposed Circular, is needed.
Consideration of Small Businesses Should Be Required -
More consideration of small businesses is needed.
BIC Sourcing Solutions Must Be Readily Attainable -
The Circular does not address how competitions for BIC preferred and BIC mandatory sourcing solutions will be conducted.
