The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) is a component of the United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is part of the Executive Office of the President of the United States (EOP).[1] 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.[2] Until January 2016, the Administrator was Anne Rung; presently the position is vacant.

OFPP has encouraged agencies to make purchases jointly, for efficiency reason.[3]

History

OFPP was established by law in 1974 to guide federal-government-wide procurement policies, regulations and procedures.[2]
