Subcommittees
- This subcommittee focuses on the GSA IT Schedules, GWACs, and other major contract vehicles like Networx and Alliant, and meets regularly with GSA officials. The subcommittee members are especially interested in the activities of the Federal Acquisition Service.
PS Small Business Subcommittee
- This Subcommittee, which is jointly sponsored with the Procurement Policy Committee, focuses on the interests of the small and mid-size business within TechAmerica. It also monitors the concerns of large firms in meeting their small business goals. Current issues include the SBA’s proposal to modify the size standards.
- This Task Group focuses on implementation of Section 508 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. It also monitors international and state activities similar to Section 508 and related standards. The US Access Board announced its intention to update the guidelines for Section 508, and ITAA was appointed to its advisory committee. We expect more activity in this area during 2008.
- This joint task group with the Federal Committee is focused on the implementation of Internet Protocol version 6 by the federal government. The group has already provided input to OMB, GSA, NIST and DoD regarding the policies and technical profiles proposed for this implementation.
PS Supply Chain Assurance Task Group
- This group focuses on the various government efforts to secure the supply chain of the public sector from malicious attempts to modify products and services entering that supply chain and their attempts to alter that supply chain using the acquisition authority of the Federal government.
PS PPC Regulatory Subcommittee
- The Regulatory Subcommittee monitors all Federal regulatory actions for proposals and final rules that impact the government market environment. The committee is responsible for crafting the TechAmerica comments to these proposals and developing a strategy to engage in the regulatory promulgation process to achieve a favorable outcome.
- This task group works closely with Congressional leaders and regulatory bodies on procurement reforms that will contribute to the reduction of the Federal Government's carbon footprint.
PS Acquisition Reform Working Group
- TechAmerica is a member of the Acquisition Reform Working Group (ARWG), which is an industry trade association coalition formed around government contracting. The coalition has been active for over 2 decades and provides proactive legislative recommendations to the Congress, as well as evaluates and provides industry perspective back to Congress on contracting issues in legislative proposals.
