Who developed and who manages the Seven Steps Guide?
A36In 2001, the Department of Commerce established an interagency team to write a comprehensive and clear guide to help agencies meet their performance-based contracting goals set out by the Procurement Executives’ Council. Agencies represented on the team were Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, GSA, and Treasury; the team was supported by Acquisition Solutions®, Inc., and with their help, the guide was placed on the Internet. The General Services Administration took responsibility for the project in 2003, and they continue to manage the Seven Steps web site. OFPP is leading a broader-based interagency team in managing the content of the Seven Steps Steps guide, along with working towards meeting the 2006 SARA Panel recommendations. Acquisition Solutions® continues to provide support.
