- Promote fact-based policies that optimize the entire acquisition system and drive optimal value for government while ensuring compliance with regulations
- Engage key constituencies in order to ensure various perspectives are considered when proposing solutions
- Focus on long-term sustainable practices that meet or exceed world-class standards of performance
