Business Solutions in the Public Interest Awards

Business Solutions in the Public Interest Awards

2001 Finalists Announced

The second annual award for "Business Solutions in the Public Interest" is identifying and celebrating acquisition teams and agency leaders who have used acquisition effectively and creatively to help achieve agency missions. Government Executive magazine and the Council for Excellence in Government are administering the award in partnership with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.

 

Since the early 1990s, the federal workforce has been transforming the practice of acquisition, demonstrating its powerful contribution to achieving agency missions. Acquisition has become a strategic tool for agency leaders. The awards will identify leading examples of this new business performance culture and recognize the importance of partnership between agency staff and leadership in thinking through and managing acquisition.

This year, more than 100 applications were received, many of which were extraordinary acquisition initiatives that illustrated innovation and demonstrated the power and payoff of the strategic use of acquisition. By celebrating these stories and sharing them with others in the acquisition community, the award is intended to amplify the voices of acquisition teams who are leading the transformation of acquisition culture.

Each finalist team will make a brief presentation before the Selection Panel during the final stage of competition, held on May 17th, 2001. Winners will be announced and featured in the August Acquisition Preview and Top 200 Federal Contractors issue of Government Executive. They will also be honored at a reception in September.
