Tailored Acquisition Portal™

Improve the Management of Programs and Contracts

The Challenge

As agencies support their important missions, they face numerous challenges, including keeping up with new reporting and legislative changes, bringing new personnel up to speed, and balancing staff reductions and turnover against increased workloads. Against this backdrop, agencies are faced with the daunting task of ensuring that all their program and contracting office professionals are kept up-to-date on procedures, forms and compliance requirements. Lack of access to this vital knowledge – including process instructions, templates and forms, and timely answers to critical questions – can result in:

Valuable time wasted, trying to find needed information
Insufficient acquisition planning and requirements definition
Protested competitions
Lack of compliance
Continuous, substantive contract modifications

The Solution: The Tailored Acquisition Portal™

In response to clients' program management and procurement challenges, ASI Government (ASI) developed the Tailored Acquisition Portal™ (TAP), an innovative, customized, web-enabled knowledge management and process flow tool providing a broad array of acquisition information and recommended best practices.

Tailored to the unique needs and environment of each client, TAP covers the entire acquisition and contracting lifecycle — stepping users through both the acquisition process and the agency's business process, defining documentation requirements, and embedding tools for easy reference, regardless of the size or complexity of the acquisition.

From entry level to senior management, TAP enables the entire acquisition and contracting workforce to understand and effectively implement acquisition management.
