ACTION: Notice of final Office of Management and Budget Circular No. A–137, ‘‘Strategic Management of Acquisition Data and Information’’. AGENCY: The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is issuing a Circular entitled ‘‘Strategic Management of Acquisition Data and Information.’’ This Circular will improve agency access to reliable data and information at the point of need throughout the acquisition lifecycle to ensure successful contracting outcomes without duplicating data, tools, or effort. The Circular establishes a centralized data management strategy to allow for SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46913 the creation of more comprehensive knowledge and data banks, the development of standard data sharing processes, and improved access to tools and resources for acquisition-related decision-making in a Hi-Definition Intelligent Acquisition Data Environment. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristen.H.Wilson@omb.eop.gov, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20006, at 202–881–9246. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Overview Across the Federal enterprise, there are tens of billions of acquisition data points residing in over 170 contract writing systems (including legacy systems) and over 15 payment processing platforms. Historically, much of this data has been collected and managed at the agency level. Agencies have used their resources to build tools within their agency, harnessing internal data and databases, but this has often led to duplicative tools and efforts and a lack of coordination across agencies. This approach has limited central capacity for analytics, insights, and efficiency gains outside of the System for Award Management and the Federal Procurement Data System, which generally provide aggregate data but very little pricing and best practices information. To address these challenges, OMB’s new Circular establishes a centralized data management policy framework for the creation of a High-Definition Environment (HDE). Through the HDE, which is the technical architecture for the data, users will have access to the right data at the point of need through a single, central access point, better enabling them to buy as an organized entity. Creating the HDE is a critical component of the acquisition community’s work to make purchases as an organized enterprise. The HDE will provide agencies with access to the breadth and depth of information needed to support the acquisition needs of the Federal Government—the largest and most sophisticated buyer in the world. Achieving the HDE will require greater transparency and collaboration in agency data systems planning and investment decisions. This is particularly true with respect to activities that would affect the Government’s ability to achieve data interoperability for information that is critical or can otherwise significantly improve acquisition decision-making at E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1
