Policy Letter on Procurement System Education, Training and Experience Requirements for Acquisition Personnel

Section 37(b)(3) of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, as amended, 41 U.S.C. Sec. 401, et seq., requires the Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy to issue policies to promote uniform implementation of a program to provide for improvements in the quality of the Government's acquisition workforce, with due regard for differences in program requirements among agencies that may be appropriate and warranted in view of the agency mission. To the extent practicable, the policies set forth in this Policy Letter are comparable to those established for acquisition personnel in the Department of Defense (DOD) who are subject to the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (Chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code). Pursuant to Section 37 of the OFPP Act, the Administrator established a working group consisting of Senior Procurement Executives of the major civilian agencies to make recommendations concerning a program to improve the quality of the non-DOD acquisition workforce. The policies and procedures set forth in this Policy Letter represent the culmination of that effort.
