Goals for NGTOC
Be a world-class center for geospatial activities Focus on geospatial needs of the nation in the 21st
century Create a highly efficient, stream-lined organization Accommodate role of NGPO as
A leading authority in geospatial information Broker and facilitator of partnerships Integrator and assuror of geospatial information and
services
Competitive Sourcing
An element of the President’s Management Agenda
Process described in OMB Circular A-76 Subjects to competition functions that are
commercial in nature and performed by the Federal government
Ensures maximum value to the taxpayer Is not outsourcing, work force restructuring,
or downsizing
