Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA)

The Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) is a U.S. law aimed at improving how federal agencies buy and manage information technology. It gives senior officials more control over IT investments to ensure they align with agency goals. FITARA also promotes better IT management practices, encourages sharing of resources, and aims to reduce wasteful spending on technology. By enhancing transparency and accountability, the act seeks to ensure more effective use of taxpayer dollars in federal IT projects, ultimately improving government services and operations.
