GSA Technology Procurement Director Retiring
Mary Powers-King, director of governmentwide acquisition contracts and Schedule 70 for GSA's Integrated Technology Service will retire shortly after the New Year after 31 years of public service.
Powers-King came to GSA from the Department of Transportation where she oversaw a variety of high profile information technology programs. Some of the positions Powers-King held at DOT were an executive in the Federal Aviation Administration, and Director of Information Technology and Deputy CIO at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
She joined GSA in 2007 as the Director of GWACs and IT Schedule Programs in the Integrated Technology Service. Powers-King has over 25 years of experience managing information technology programs in government. She is directly responsible for around 4,700 IT Schedule 70 contracts that compile $16.4B in business volume in Fiscal Years 08-09.
New Federal Procurement Certification
MCR provides integrated program management services to the federal government, among other things. In a statement on the MCR website dated Dec. 4th they released:
"MCR has partnered with American University in Washington, D.C., to create a Senior Program Manager Certificate Program that provides government acquisition executives with leadership training and technical skills for successful integrated program management."
The Federal Procurement Certification will begin in February 2010. The classes will cost $9000 for six 4-day courses. It appears as though the program is targeting experienced procurement officers, and will ultimately give them the skill set to move into higher-level, executive positions within industry or the military.
In few words, Neil F. Albert, President and CEO of MCR, hinted that there may be a worry that federal procurement executives may be in mass exodus to retirement. Though, this is not confirmed.

A clean audit opinion is an indication that the agency’s financial statements and accompanying notes are presented fairly in all material respects and conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
