WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU – TACOM OFFICE OF COMPETITION MANAGEMENT

In the U.S. Army, competition is a vital part of our acquisition strategy because it makes good business sense. As the TACOM Competition Management Office, our job is to challenge procedures, requirements and specifications that may result in inappropriate, noncompetitive procurements.

In our role as advocates for fair competition, we...

  • Ensure all responsible sources are given the opportunity to compete
  • Advise interested parties on how to comply with directives on competition
  • Provide a forum for discussing the problems and barriers to competition and recommended corrective actions
  • Provide advice to prospective contractors on the source approval process

We also encourage the support of joint industry-government programs in order to increase competition.

Our process ensures that qualified contractors are given every opportunity to compete for government business, because we know that competition within your business can be enhanced through competitive subcontracting purchases.

We hope you find this information valuable as you make your contracting decisions.

If you have any issues or concerns, contact TACOM Ombudsman and Competition Advocate.
