Gordon officially gets the OFPP nod
By Robert Brodsky
The Obama administration finally has a leader for its procurement policy shop.
As we first reported on Tuesday, Daniel Gordon, deputy general counsel of the Government Accountability Office, has been nominated as administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy at the Office of Management and Budget.
The administration made the nomination official shortly before 5 p.m. Friday evening.
Gordon is a veteran of the procurement and oversight community, spending 17 years at the GAO. He spent several years adjudicating bid protest decisions and later ran the watchdog's procurement law division.
"Dan is a career contracting professional who understands that the top goal of our procurement efforts is to use taxpayers' dollars smartly and effectively - that we get the most value for every dollar we spend," wrote OMB Director Peter Orszag in a blog post Friday evening. "Dan will bring a fresh approach to procurement policy, but he also will rely on the expertise of the career procurement workforce to improve our procurement processes.
More to come on Gordon's nomination on Monday.
