There used to be a great distinction,but the advent of things such as the GSA [General Services Administration] federal supply schedule which a lot of federal agencies are now beginning to understand and utilize in their sourcing has made the procurements more of a ‘best value’ type of determination.That has long been the approach of many commercial customers.We’re gradually seeing more of a line between the commercial and the government buyer.Their needs typically are a little bit different.The commercial side are using more procurement or sourcing teams,where you have representatives from purchasing,from security,perhaps risk management, maybe human resources,and operations or facilities.On the government side, typically it is strictly a contracting officer that’s dealing with the procurement.When it comes to the final decision,we’re seeing more of a ‘best value.’
