Editor's notebook: About this special issue
Welcome to the 11th annual edition of the Government Executive Top 200 Federal Contractors issue and our first Procurement Preview. We changed the focus a little this year, because the federal marketplace is changing.
The federal government is still a huge purchaser, of course. Agencies spent
But Uncle Sam is also trying to become a smarter, more innovative shopper. That's why this year our writers have taken an in-depth look at procurement trends, focusing on the shift away from piecemeal purchases of goods and services to the acquisition of broad-based business solutions.
The winners of the new Business Solutions in the Public Interest Awards, co-sponsored by Government Executive, the Council for Excellence in Government and the Offace of Federal Procurement Policy, exemplify this trend. This issue includes profiles of the six winners of this year's awards, ranging from the GSA Advantage! online shopping site to the Air Force's innovative Hunley Park military family housing renovation project.
