Overcoming Barriers in Federal Acquisition

In many organizations, federal acquisition professionals operate in separate offices inadvertently creating information silos, with less-than-ideal communication and collaboration between offices. These stovepipes create barriers to success, with various stakeholders throwing documents over the fence without knowing their fate or having clear lines of communication. Bound by bureaucracy and complex regulations, the acquisition process becomes overly burdensome and at times unnecessarily lengthy.
