Our Leadership

Leading the Way

FAI serves Federal acquisition workforce professionals worldwide. The FAI team delivers these services by providing acquisition training, career development opportunities, and related human capital management activities. For more than 35 years as a resource to the Federal Government, FAI continues to foster partnership development opportunities crossing agency boundaries, with the objective of optimizing resources to build a more effective government. Through increased collaboration spanning both the Department of Defense and civilian agency acquisition workforce communities, duplicative developments are being reduced and opportunities to increase efficiencies are being identified – the result being a more efficient and effective government.  

Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP)

OFPP handles procurement policies for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 405(d)) established FAI under OFPP.
