Office of Federal Procurement Policy


The Office of Federal Procurement Policy is a component of the United States Office of Management and Budget, which is part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States. OFPP provides overall direction for government-wide procurement procedures and "to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in acquisition processes." OFPP is headed by an Administrator who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. In February 2018, President Donald Trump nominated Michael E. Wooten to be the next Administrator. Dr. Wooten was confirmed on August 1, 2019.
OFPP has encouraged agencies to make purchases jointly, for efficiency reason.

History
