Letter: Contracting officer wants to participate in policy talks
A contracting officer recognizes his experience and insider view of the contracting process and wants to share that perspective with lawmakers.
Regarding "House caucus to deal with contracting": I am a U.S. government contracting officer. I began my career at the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1983. I left the SEC in 2003, worked briefly with EPA, then four years with DOL/OIG, and currently working at GPO. My decision to move around in government and share my experiences with other agencies has been difficult and rewarding.
I would very much like to share these experiences with the new committee as a member of a focus group, subcommittee member, etc. I can retire next year, in November. However, I would like to remain if I can provide some assistance to lawmakers that will be reviewing and revising government acquisition policy and procedures.
