Hello - I hope that everyone is doing well.  First, let me apologize for not blogging sooner.  I was selected as the Deputy Regional Commissioner in December 2014, so my breadth of responsibilities has increased dramatically and exponentially.  In addition to changes affecting me and the front office, there has been another change directly affecting the AAS Portfolio.  In April 2015, Mr. Stephen Durrett, a seasoned contracting officer, has temporarily taken over as Acting AAS Director for Region 9 as a detail.  He has a wide breadth of contracting and project management experience.

The Pacific Rim Region, AAS has just published its new brochure.  It focuses on our realignment of strategic priorities (assessing acquisition risk, managing client expectations, and increasing customer market share in a responsible and sustainable manner) by providing assisted acquisition support through project management and contracting expertise - from requirements development through contract close out - a scalable, turnkey solution for our customers.
