Federal Integrated Business Framework (FIBF)

It is the essential first step towards standards that will drive economies of scale and leverage the government’s buying power.

These documents serve three purposes:
- The Quality Service Management Offices (QSMOs) use the draft ITS and CYB functions, activities, business capabilities, business data elements and services measures to establish, offer, and manage their governmentwide marketplaces of solutions and services.
- The GSA Technology Business Management (TBM) Program Management Office (PMO) uses the ITS and CYB functions, activities, and data elements as components of the Federal government’s IT Cost Transparency Taxonomy.
- Support Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-11 “Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget” guidance to agencies when submitting standard IT investment data attributable to ITS Delivery, Platform, or Infrastructure solutions. Note the TBM Delivery solution subcomponent of Security & Compliance aligns to a mixture of CYB and ITS functions and activities.
