PURPOSE:

To continue oversight of the federal agencies’ implementation of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA).

BACKGROUND:

In December 2014, Congress enacted FITARA to promote federal IT modernization and strengthen the federal IT workforce.
The Committee worked alongside the Government Accountability Office to develop a scorecard to assess agencies’ FITARA implementation efforts, assigning a grade from A to F.
The Committee released scorecards in November 2015, May 2016, December 2016, June 2017, November 2017, and May 2018. Since the prior scorecard in May 2018, 11 agencies increased their letter grade, 13 remained the same, and there were no decreases.
