NCMA Fort Monmouth Chapter

Membership Info

On behalf of our membership, I pledge to:

• Advocate acquisition reform and encourage our members to become the leading agents of change in implementation of reform.
• As promoted by the NCMA Code of Ethics, reaffirm the integrity and competency of the acquisition work force by stressing the need to place greater reliance on the good business judgment of contracting professionals.
• Promote unity of purpose and action in public contracting by working to reduce adversarial relationships and by encouraging government and industry teamwork.
• Further the implementation of acquisition reform in cooperation with the OFPP by:

1. Providing educational seminars hosted by chapters to explain the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994.
2. Publishing and distributing educational materials, including a regular feature in Contract Management magazine on acquisition reform.
3. Producing educational videos for chapter workshops to encourage the implementation of FASA.
4. Supporting the OFPP initiative, Front Line Procurement Professionals Forum on Procurement Reform, by nominating NCMA members as participants.
5. Encouraging local chapters to "adopt" a specific acquisition reform initiative of their choice, which they would seek to promote, in cooperation with government buying offices in their local area.

NCMA supports OFPP's approach to acquisition reform as exemplified by seeking voluntary participation of all organizations involved in the contracting process. I look forward to the opportunity for increased OFPP and NCMA cooperation as we work together to enhance contract management professionalism.
