The Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act made changes to the ways the U.S. federal government buys and manages computer technology.[1] It became law as a part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Title VIII, Subtitle D, H.R. 3979.
One of the requirements would be that the government develop a streamlined plan for its acquisitions.[2] The bill would increase the power of existing chief information officers (CIO) within federal agencies so that they could be more effective.[3] Each agency would also be reduced to having only one CIO in the agency, who is then responsible for the success and failure of all IT projects in that agency.[4] The bill would also require the federal government to make use of private sector best practices.[3] The bill is intended to reduce IT procurement related waste.[5]
Earlier versions of FITARA were introduced in 2013 (H.R. 1232) and passed in a voice vote in the United States House of Representatives during the 113th United States Congress.[2]
