SUBJECT: Strategic Planning

Same Subj (OL 0-1147)
This memorandum provides information concerning goals
and objectives relating to the procurement function of the
Agency in general, and specifically to the Office of
Logistics. Given the constraint placed on personnel, it is
evident that we must seek to become more efficient and
responsive to Agency needs by insuring that our current
organizational structure is capable of meeting such needs;
by establishing management systems that permit the earliest
entry of procurement officers into acquisition planning and
decision process; and_by automating the procurement process
to the maximum feasible extent. The goals and objectives
set forth below are postured on the basis that this Agency's
responsibilities will not alter markedly and that we will
continue to adhere to established laws and regulations
within the bounds of sound security practice.
To establish a coordinated planning and forecasting
mechanism that will permit early identification of procure-
ment requirements and enable procurement and requirements
officers to develop more coherent programmatic acquisition
strategies.
Objectives:
1. Establish a relationship with the Comptroller and
major requirements offices so that budgetary estimates of
procurements may be acquired prior to the start of a fiscal
year.
