Billy Mitchell writes that Naggar has noted future website changes, continued collaboration across the federal government and efforts to collect feedback on the revised acquisition diagram.
“We’re starting to do a lot more outreach. And I’m finishing the strategy and action plan, hopefully this week, that will be put on the [Buyers Club] landing page,” Naggar told the publication.
The agency has awarded a Web content management contract for HHS’ assistant secretary for planning and evaluation to Akira Technologies.
Naggar said other agencies see the risk management potential in the “two-step, down-select” procurement method of Buyers Club.
“There’s a lot to be said about making incremental investments before you devote and obligate a lot more of the taxpayers’ money into things.”
Naggar noted that he plans to utilize this initial contract as a use-case to evaluate the program’s long-term effectivity and continue Buyers Club outreach, education and end-user engagement work across government.
