House Armed Services Committee sets their priorities

The new Congress has begun its work, releasing its priorities for federal procurement. As I become aware of them, I will try to help you follow them here. Thanks to Debbie Emerson for passing this one on to me.

The House Armed Services Committee (HASC) has issued their Oversight Plan for the 110th Congress (current session). If you are not aware, this committee has oversight over the entire Department of Defense and its activities, so is particularly important to us in DoD procurement. In addition, the House of Representatives is responsible for all appropriations legislation, so the findings and priorities of this committee find their way to funding bills.

They have oversight over everything DoD, but this influential group plans specific focus areas for this coming year. This topic will be examined in several posts today to break up the topic and perhaps improve the discussion.
