GSA’s Vision for COMET II
GSA seeks a unified vision for transforming its systems, aligned with the FAS Business Architecture and GSA Enterprise Architecture. Unlike previous re-platforming efforts, COMET II will leverage cloud-native and open-source technologies to drive meaningful change and empower the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) to be more competitive with a flexible, resilient digital acquisition platform.
A key goal of COMET II is to improve efficiency and reduce costs by implementing a loosely coupled architecture built on common services, minimizing development redundancies and operations & maintenance (O&M). Innovation, speed, and cost-efficiency will be measured and rewarded through quantitative Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
