The Office of Federal Procurement Policy wants to apply the strategic sourcing approach to acquisition training in order to centralize efforts across several agencies and further build up the acquisition workforce, Federal News Radio reported Monday.

Jason Miller writes OFPP wants to standardize training of civilian agency acquisition employees and integrate oversight functions with the Federal Acquisition Institute’s Training Application System.

Joe Jordan, OFPP administrator, told Federal News Radio station the agency aims for FAITAS to combine the registration for training sessions, certification data and workforce management tools.

Jordan sent agencies a memo last week directing them to use the FAI’s training application system.

He also told the station OFPP also intends to develop a new contract under the management of FAI and the General Services Administration in an effort to give agencies one source for acquiring training services.

“This contract and this effort will allow for volume discounts and also robust reporting to FAI, so they can monitor class prices, actual utilization of the contract, the seats and the training,” Jordan said to Federal News Radio.
