Recommendations of the Commission on Government Procurement: A Final Assessment

In the late 1960's Congress created the Commission on Government Procurement to devise fundamental improvements in the patchwork of federal procurement laws, directives, and regulations which had accumulated with expansion. The Commission developed 149 integrated recommendations that required congressional and executive branch action. Recent Congresses have launched a subcommittee to oversee installation of the reforms and introduce legislation, and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) to lead in making needed changes.
