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.
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) in the Office of Management and Budget plays a central role in shaping the policies and practices federal agencies use to acquire the goods and services they need to carry out their responsibilities. OFPP was established by Congress in 1974 to provide overall direction for government-wide procurement policies, regulations and procedures and to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in acquisition processes. OFPP is headed by an Administrator who is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
FAI Board of Directors
The FAI Board of Directors, established by OFPP, represents a variety of agencies and provides input on agencies' needs. The Board works to ensure that FAI fulfills its statutory responsibilities, fulfills certain duties for the Administrator, Office of Federal Procurement Policy as they relate to FAI operations, and to ensure that OFPP's priorities are being addressed. The Board of Directors charter outlines the duties and responsibilities of the Board.
