An agency subject to the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 ( 31 U.S.C. 901 note; Public Law 101–576 ) that does not have a Procurement Innovation Lab on the date of enactment of this Act should consider establishing a lab or similar mechanism to test new approaches, share lessons learned, and promote best practices in procurement, including for commercial technology, such as artificial intelligence, that is trustworthy and best-suited for the needs of the agency. The functions of the Procurement Innovation Lab or similar mechanism should include— providing leadership support as well as capability and capacity to test, document, and help agency programs adopt new and better practices through all stages of the acquisition lifecycle, beginning with project definition and requirements development; providing the workforce of the agency with a clear pathway to test and document new acquisition practices and facilitate fresh perspectives on existing practices; helping programs and integrated project teams successfully execute emerging and well-established acquisition practices to achieve better results; and promoting meaningful collaboration among offices that are responsible for requirements development, contracting officers, and others, including financial and legal experts, that share in the responsibility for making a successful procurement.
An agency should consider placing the Procurement Innovation Lab or similar mechanism as a supporting arm of the Chief Acquisition Officer or Senior Procurement Executive of the agency and shall have wide latitude in structuring the Procurement Innovation Lab or similar mechanism and in addressing associated personnel staffing issues.
