WIPP Takes Lead in Federal Strategic Sourcing Reforms
Background: Many agencies are using “Federal Strategic Sourcing” reforms in an effort to cut costs on federal procurements. WIPP is greatly concerned about the impact on women-owned businesses and helped form a coalition to advocate on this front.
WIPP has joined with other national small business groups and trade associations to form the Coalition for Common Sense Contracting. The coalition was formed to address growing concerns over “Federal Strategic Sourcing” and other procurement reforms limiting opportunities for small businesses. These include fewer opportunities and limited use of small businesses. The Coalition will be participating in a roundtable on Federal Strategic Sourcing on July 17th, 2014 to voice these concerns.
Readers with similar concerns are encouraged to contact John Stanford to find out how they can join the coalition.
