Simplify Acquisition….continued Simplify Acquisition of ITUpdate IT procurement methods to incorporate these modern characteristics and fully leverage technology innovation available in the dynamic marketplaceClarify Services PoliciesClarifying polices for implementation in DFARS on the management of nonpersonal services (NPS) contracts relative to contractor supervisory responsibilities clarifying polices for implementation on the management of nonpersonal services to improve the acquisition and management of services contracts by providing clarity of roles and responsibilities of both contractor and government employees.Improve & Focus Oversight Re-align DCAA’s focus to supporting the contracting officer and acquisition team to provide DoD with flexibility to use independent professional auditors (IPAs) when appropriate.
