This project aims to enhance electronic acquisition processes between federal agencies through standardized data architecture, improved decision support, and high-quality financial data, led by key government officials. By implementing data standards and utilizing technology, the project will streamline intragovernmental transactions, providing tools for reconciliation and elimination. Progress includes issuing business process rules, completing initial registrations, and preparing for prototype testing, involving various agency partners.
