CIA adopts new acquisition framework emphasizing speed
The Central Intelligence Agency has rolled out a new acquisition framework that emphasizes speed in procuring technology and services, according to Federal News Network. The initiative reflects a broader push within the U.S. intelligence community to modernize how it acquires capabilities, particularly as it seeks to keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies.
The new framework aims to reduce bureaucratic delays that have historically slowed the adoption of new tools and systems. By streamlining procurement processes, the CIA hopes to more quickly integrate emerging technologies into its operations. The move aligns with similar efforts across the Department of Defense and other federal agencies to make government acquisition more responsive and competitive with the private sector's pace of innovation.
