Provide civilian agencies with authority similar to DOD's for improving
the acquisition workforce.

Legislation should be enacted to amend the OFPP Act to give executive
branch agencies necessary additional authority to improve their
procurement workforces similar to that provided to the Secretary of
Defense. Examples of authorities needed for all procurement agencies
include special authorities for:

-- authorizing agency heads to require satisfactory completion of
mandatory training as a prerequisite for promotion to a higher level
position;7

-- an acquisition corps;8 and

-- other programs to enable improved training, tuition reimbursement,
and an acquisition university with special faculty arrangements.9
