Announcement of Name Change

Sam.gov Announcement of Name Change

The Department of State announces that the name of the Office of the Procurement Executive within the Bureau of Administration (A/OPE) has changed to Global Acquisition (A/GA). Led by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisition and Senior Procurement Executive for the Department of State, A/GA is responsible for providing Department-wide leadership over the full range of procurement and federal assistance activities that support the Department of State's mission around the globe, as well as setting the overall strategic direction for the Department's acquisition program.

The new name marks a transition from an office name describing one individual to a more inclusive brand representing all of the people involved. It also more accurately describes the full depth and breadth of the mission, as a global organization supporting federal assistance efforts worldwide and a broad array of acquisition needs ranging from tech to training, digital assets to diplomatic pouches, and erasers to embassies.

Stakeholders should expect to begin to see the new name and logo used on A/GA websites, documents, templates, and other written materials shortly. No other operational changes/impacts are anticipated as result of this rebranding.
