Johnson said actions would include working with Congress and agencies to develop a new scorecard to hold agencies accountable for achieving small business procurement goals set forth in an initiative introduced in 2002 to reduce contract bundling.
He said creating such a scorecard would entail defining success according to the President’s policy, drafting an action plan to accomplish the policy’s goals, assigning clear responsibility for achievement of the milestones in the action plan, and briefing Congress at least once each quarter on the status of the action plan.
Johnson said OMB would consider adding an anti-contract-bundling initiative to the President’s Management Agenda, establishing a senior position in the OFPP responsible for small business issues, clarifying agency responsibilities to increase small business opportunities by unbundling contracts and promoting more competition in ways that align with the President’s contract bundling initiative.
