interoperability. Federal agencies in the
Executive Branch must manage data
consistent with statutes, regulations, and
OMB policies. Agency CAOs, Senior
Procurement Executives (SPEs), CDOs, Chief
Financial Officers (CFOs), CIOs, and Budget
Officers must collaborate to:
• Assess the feasibility of building and/or
maintain appropriate and secure APIs to
permit sharing and interoperability of
procurement data and are developed through
the working group and after the initial data
assessment period;
• Promote best business practices of
appropriate data hygiene, data principles,
and data standards as developed by the PCE;
• Further innovation and efficiency in the
Federal acquisition system by leading or
actively participating in the development and
implementation of emerging technology tools
that align with policy; and,
• Actively develop professionals with
skills in Federal Acquisition Regulations
(FAR)-based data analytics for decisionmaking.

Data Security and Quality Control
Building security and fraud protection
aspects into the management of procurement
data will ensure usable data. This is a
responsibility across the Federal enterprise
and requires due diligence at all levels. HiDef and IAE data will only be useful if it is
accurate, timely, definable, and available in
real-time. The maintenance of an Acquisition
Data & Process Dictionary (ADD),9 managed
by the PCE, will resolve discrepancies among
models and support uniform implementation
of policy-based terminology. Such a
dictionary will provide consistency across
the Federal Government and identify and fill
in gaps if existing data models do not capture
the full acquisition lifecycle. The dictionary
helps to build a foundation against which
agencies can map existing tools and
processes throughout the acquisition
lifecycle. Integrating the standards and
processes identified by the PCE, for example
those defined in the FIBF, provides a
common starting place for all agencies.
Common business process and data
definitions can be made accessible and
transparent for many users in accordance
with PCE identified guidance.
Validation and Verification (V&V) of the
acquisition data is paramount to quality
control. V&V aims to ensure both
completeness and accuracy of select data.
The PCE will update the existing parameters
and methods for annual V&V every 5 years
to align with policy, regulatory and agency
needs. The most recent memoranda, stored:
‘‘Improving Federal Procurement Data
Quality—Guidance for Annual Verification
and Validation,’’ 10 (May 2011), and
‘‘Improving Small Business Procurement
Data—Quality and Process,’’ 11 (November
2011). This cadence of review and updates
permits the longitudinal analysis and
continuous improvement.

Appendix E. Annual Agency Planning
Requirements
Strategic and operational planning by
agencies, including budget planning, is
essential to an interoperable environment
where data are shared and available at the
point of need. These activities provide
opportunities for addressing gaps identified
through assessments and innovation in
business processes and technology, including
lessons learned from pilots or shared
activities. As such, agencies must include
appropriate analyses of these considerations
in agency annual strategic plans, as required
by OMB Circular A–11 and any
supplementary direction from OMB during
the budget process. These plans will be
reviewed by OMB to inform and shape
actions necessary to support Hi-Def
implementation and maintenance.
Planning and Budgeting—To assist
agencies in ensuring acquisition data
interoperability is appropriately considered
in agency-wide strategic planning and
budgeting, each year, OFPP will provide a
template with questions and structure for
compiling the strategic plan. The template
will include sections for responding to
questions related to acquisition data
resources and infrastructure, governmentwide priorities established by OMB and
governance groups, and agency-specific
priorities. The yearly priority areas will be
posted with an updated template on the
Acquisition.gov Data Initiatives Page.12 The
acquisition data resources and infrastructure
questions will generally address the
following areas, though may include other
areas of interest as appropriate:
a. Appropriate resource management
activities necessary to support innovative
practices and alignment of data with statutes,
regulations, policies, and standards to
support interoperability. The identification of
activities should be accomplished in
coordination with the appropriate agency
leaders directing the acquisition,
information, security, data, finance, and
human capital functions.
b. Solutions identified by the agency
workforce as the greatest opportunity for
improving processes and leveraging
technology to support innovation and reduce
burden. Such ideas support agency
operations and mission success by
addressing issues, challenges, and best
practices identified by those most impacted
on a daily basis by access (or lack thereof) to
data and information.
c. Details on how agencies are assuring any
new technologies at the agency level are
aligned with policy and regulations, and how
agency technology supports the
interoperability of data in the federated
model established through this Circular.
d. Recommendations on any business
processes that should be re-engineered to
support innovation or just-in-time access to
quality information or data. Re-imagining the
process before applying emerging
technologies or shared tools can lead to a
more impactful change; this can be done by
seeking workforce input, taking maximum

advantage of FAR flexibilities, leveraging
data and information technology as strategic
assets, consulting with governance on how
data is supposed to be used and displayed,
and driving changes to agency-specific
requirements.
Initial projects. Initial projects will focus
on electronic invoicing (e.g., Invoice
Processing Platform (IPP) and G-Invoicing),
and the collection of transactional pricing
data. Additional and future Hi-Def projects to
implement this policy will generally be
identified through an annual strategic
planning process, as described in section 3 of
the Circular and this Appendix.
