SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On April 26, 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
published

OMB

memorandum

M-19-16,

“Centralized

Mission

Support Capabilities for the Federal Government” (available
at
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/M-1916.pdf). Mission support business standards, established and
agreed to by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act agencies,
using the Federal Integrated Business Framework website at
https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf/, enable the Federal Government to
better coordinate on the decision-making needed to determine
what mission support services can be adopted and commonly
shared. These business standards are an essential first step
towards agreement on outcomes, data, and cross-functional
end-to-end processes that will drive economies of scale and
leverage

the

government’s

buying

power.

The

business

standards will be used as the foundation for common mission
support services shared by the CFO Act agencies.

GSA is seeking public feedback on the

business standards,

including comments on the understandability of the standards,
suggested changes and usefulness of the draft standards to
industry and agencies.
Guiding questions in the standards development include:
● Do the draft business standards appropriately document
the business processes covered?
● Are the draft business standards easy to understand?
● Will your organization be able to show how your solutions
or services, or both, can meet these draft business
standards?
● What

would

you

change

about

the

draft

business

standards? Is there anything missing?
Comments will be used in the formulation of the final mail
operations management business standards.
