|
The Commerce Standard Acquisition and Reporting System (CSTARS) is an
enterprise-wide procurement system supporting the underlying standard acquisition
business process for the Department of Commerce. CSTARS is an IT-enabled tool
that DoC acquisition professionals use to provide the highest level of customer
service for acquiring products and services. CSTARS is currently in production at
the Office of the Secretary (OS), National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Bureau of
the Census (BOC).
CSTARS can be used to create requisitions, review and approve documents, create
purchase requests, build procurement plans, manage vendors - utilizing the Central
Contractor Registry, create solicitiations, create awards, provide reports, and
monitor workload. The program maintains strong sponsorship and support from the
Deputy Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Deputy Chief Information Officer (CIO), and
the Department's Procurement Executive. The
CSTARS Tri-fold was developed in
order to provide a quick overview of the program. Monthly user
group meetings
are held at the various user locations to resolve outstanding issues, and maintain
user participation and ownership.
