A $400 Billion Opportunity: 10 Strategies to Cut the Fat Out of Federal Procurement
November 16, 2010, 1:30pm – 3:00pm, Center for American Progress, 1333 H St. NW, 10th Floor, Washington, DC 20005
The federal government can save between $25 billion and $54 billion a year by changing the way it buys goods and services, according to a new analysis from the Center for American Progress.
But reforming a $500 billion annual acquisition system is a massively complex problem. To put the challenge in perspective, Dr. Ashton Carter of the Defense Department and Anne Rung of the Commerce Department will share their perspectives on promising initiatives being pursued by the Obama administration.
CAP's "Doing What Works" project will release Visiting Fellow Raj Sharma's new analysis, which distills a comprehensive procurement-reform agenda into 10 proven strategies. Please join us for what promises to be a lively discussion.
