In a continuing effort to improve federal IT commodity management practices, the Office of Management and Budget released a directive on Aug. 4 that gives agencies guidelines for buying mobile devices and services.
The policy memo, from U.S. Chief Acquisition Officer Anne Rung and U.S. CIO Tony Scott, follows policy releases on computer workstations in late 2015 and software licensing in June.
In a joint blog post, Rung and Scott said the latest policy, like the other two, will help drive greater efficiencies in the federal government’s $1 billion yearly spending on mobile devices and services.
