Excerpt
Excerpt: More than 200 billion tax dollars are spent each year on buying sophisticated weaponry, complex space and satellite systems, advanced technologies, and a broad range of goods and services needed to make the federal government run. This sum comprises the largest element of discretionary funding in the federal budget. Analysts for the Acquisition and Sourcing Management (ASM) team help Congress determine whether this money is being spent efficiently and effectively and if acquisitions maximize agencies? ability to meet their mission objectives. We also assist the federal government to adopt better ways of buying systems, equipment, and services. In the face of global economic pressures, we identify trends in national security industries and weaknesses in protecting critical capabilities and technologies.
