Getting acquisition down to a science. Sateri is the industry lead for an ACT-IAC project on innovative acquisition practices. Along with her government co-lead, she worked closely with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and the General Services Administration to develop the Periodic Table of Acquisition Innovations — a knowledge-sharing tool that promotes awareness of innovative procurement practices across the federal government. As a result of Sateri’s efforts, agencies are now using “frictionless acquisition” practices such as down-selection of vendors based on preliminary submissions and criteria. To further ensure the project’s success, she persuaded REI Systems to develop a proof of concept at no cost to the government.
