This hearing reviewed the status of efforts to strengthen the Federal acquisition workforce against the backdrop of dramatic growth in contracting spending, a static size of the Federal acquisition workforce, and an expected wave of retirements within that workforce. In particular, the hearing examined whether the administration is providing effective government-wide leadership and coordination on acquisition workforce issues and whether agencies with significant contract expenditures have the tools they need to build sufficient internal capacity to oversee mission-critical contracts.
