(D.O.C.) RE-ENGINEERING ACQUISITION PROCESS DOC Office of Acquisition Management is re-engineering the acquisition process for contract awards made by other than simplified acquisition procedures. The concept of the target operating environment (CONOPS) is underpinned by four main themes: 1) A dramatically streamlined process, 2) Empowered project teams, 3) Redefined relationships with vendors, and 4) New uses of technology. A copy of the CONOPS is available for information purposes from Tish Tucker at the Department of Commerce, Acquisition Services HCHB 6517, 14th & Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20030.
