The systems supporting the DoC acquisition business processes have changed
significantly during the past several years. New systems have become instrumental
in implementing the new eCommerce, eMarketplace and eGovernment initiatives within
the Department. CASD is positioned in the center of many Information Technology
(IT) initiatives. The CSTARS Program, though largely successful, needs to be
expanded in order to meet new requirements. In 2006, the Department of Commerce
will seek to modernize their current acquisition systems and business processes while
ensuring compliance with all Federal legislation and initiatives, such as Integrated
Acquisition Environment and the OAM IT Governance Board Members. The integration of
these acquisition-related systems into a single, portal-like, web-based solution will
be called the Commerce Business Environment (CBE). Some of the CBE is currently in
place (Corporate Systems, Integrated Acquisition Environment, and the Acquisition
Reporting tool). Other parts are "under construction."
