2U.S. General Services Administration
In July 2001, the US Government began efforts to make better use of IT investments in order to
reduce federal spending, lessen government paperwork for itself, citizens, and businesses, and improve government response time
In November 2001, 24 projects were defined as a starting point that would lay the foundation for a citizen-centric government
Integrated Acquisition Environment is one of these and has been developed as a shared services environment that promotes competition, transparency and efficiency in the federal acquisition life cycle
Redundant systems have been shut down, paper forms have been eliminated and procurement systems are sharing data
leveraging IT investments across agencies and sharing resources

The Quest for Interoperability
Interoperability can be defined as the ability of:
“…Diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate).” Wikipedia
“…Two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.” IEEE
“…Two or more devices, components, or systems to exchange information in accordance with defined interface specifications and to use the information that has been exchanged in a meaningful way.” GSA
6U.S. General Services Administration
The Starting Gate for Cross-Domain Interoperability
• Standard data model
• Common protocols and data exchange standards
• Standard data interface specifications to implement protocols
• Standard Testing Programs for interface specifications - Products
• Reference Implementations - data interface specifications
• Standard Testing Program for cross-domain data interface specifications
7U.S. General Services Administration
Create a simpler, common, integrated business process for buyers and sellers that promotes competition, transparency of process, and integrity.
Increase data sharing to enable better business decisions in procurement, logistics, payment and performance assessment.
Take a unified approach to obtaining modern tools to leverage investment costs for business related processes.
Integrated Acquisition Environment – Key Goals
8U.S. General Services Administration
1. Business Partner Network Deploy a single point of registration and validation of supplier data
accessed by all agencies.
2. Acquisition Information Reporting Implement a central point for consolidated collection and access of
statistical and management information related to Government acquisitions.
3. eMarketplace The centralized and integrated group of market research and acquisition
tools that facilitates buying activities across the federal government. These tools provide access to interagency contracts, Federal and open market eCatalogs, solicitations/responses, and small business opportunities.Includes: FedBizOpps, FedTeDS, WDOL.gov
IAE – Business Areas
9U.S. General Services Administration
4. Intra-governmental Transactions Transform intra-governmental ordering and billing, reduce payment
and collection problems, and enable swift and accurate revenue and expense elimination processes for preparing consolidated financial statements.
5. Standard Transactions Develop a standard glossary and vocabulary to facilitate exchange of
data between and within agencies.
IAE – Business Areas
10U.S. General Services Administration
Define the “common language” used to support interoperability among:
IAE shared systems IAE shared systems and agency back office financial, acquisition, program applications IAE shared systems and vendor systems

Establish federal governance framework based on key cross-agency components Executive commitment and alignment Collaborative System Steward management Collaborative commercial software provider management
Engage stakeholders- It’s still the people! Across agencies and levels Throughout the life cycle
Communicate widely, deeply, often Emphasize the benefits for every type stakeholder Inform and persuade decision makers and influence leaders Solicit feedback regularly
