Awesome ideas from the Govloop Acquisition2.0 Group led to the www.betterbuyproject.org platform asking the public for ideas on how the gov could use collaborative technology to make the federal acquisition process more open, collaborative and participatory. Over 130 ideas were submitted, then evaluated and applied to two GSA acquisitions (data.gov and ClearPath) that included posting RFIs on a wiki (http://betterbuy.fas.gsa.gov) for public comment, using Twitter to update procurement status and share info, and eventually using web chat to host industry days. The BetterBuy concepts can be applied to numerous government business areas.
