Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP)’s eBusiness office works hand in hand with the Components and the Business Transformation Agency (BTA) to ensure functional process, policy, and data requirements are incorporated in DoD-wide procurement-related business initiatives and systems (such as Wide Area Workflow). In addition, eBusiness represents the Department's requirements with the federal Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) portfolio of programs (including CCR and FPDS).

Some recent efforts of the eBusiness office include:

Some recent efforts of the eBusiness office include:

• Publication of the Procurement Data Standard (PDS), a system-agnostic data standard that is intended to be adopted and implemented DoD-wide for creation, translation, processing, and sharing of procurement actions. It defines the minimum requirements for contract writing system output to improve visibility and accuracy of contract-related data, to support interoperability of DoD acquisition systems and to standardize and streamline the procure-to-pay business process.
  
  
• Deployment of the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS) provides the government with insight as to how its contracting dollars are being distributed among small and disadvantaged businesses. This Internet-based tool streamlines the reporting process of subcontracting plans and provides agencies with access to analytical data on subcontracting performance.
  
  
• Requirements review for Version 1.3 of the Federal Procurement Data System - Next Generation (FPDS-NG), the centralized, GSA-managed federal database used to collect unclassified, transactional data on the government's contracting activity.
  
  
• Partnering with BTA to develop a strategy to take accounting data out of contract documents by linking contract data to financial transactions (Financial Data in Procurement).
  
  
• Development of internal controls policy and business rules for general contracting and intragovernmental transactions.
