Get it right or get out -- that's the message to vendors from GSA's Federal Technology Service on the upcoming $150 billion Alliant governmentwide acquisition contract.

The Office of Management and Budget must do more to ensure the reliability of federal procurement data, including reviewing agency procedures for collecting and reporting information to the Federal Procurement Data System, the General Accounting Office said.

After much discussion with agencies and vendors, the General Services Administration is refocusing its enterprise software licensing program to be more flexible and better coordinated within the government. Emory Miller, GSA's project director, said the program, known as SmartBuy, will look at a variety of business models, including a tiered methodology, quantity discounts and a model that asks vendors to lower their prices if agencies buy a suite of software products.
