Reorganization Approach We reviewed all functions and, based on logical combinations, divided them into two Branches. The Branches are primarily the same as before; however, FOIA and File Room Management were moved from Audits and Oversight, into the Operations Support Branch. It was also determined that cost and pricing training is required to further develop and enhance the skills of operations staff. The purpose of this new function is to help reduce skills/competency gaps in Procurement’s operational Divisions. We will work closely with the Workforce and Career Development Branch to develop appropriate training. We recognize that, by requiring employees to develop this skill across the organization will require a cultural shift. Contract Operations Services Division Organizational Overview April 2011

Key Changes & Benefits The Contract Operations Support Services Division is an existing organization. As a part of the reorganization, the Small Business Program, Purchase Card Approving Official role, Audits, Oversight, Business Liaison and Purchase Card Programs/functions were transferred to other parts of Procurement. We added a renewed focus on providing cost and pricing training to grow this skill and capability across Procurement. Enhanced overall supervisor to employee ratio.
