The Office of Policy Coordination and Management (OPCM) provides NTIA offices and their workforce members with mission enablement support to deliver on the mission. OPCM supports NTIA’s workforce in government facilities (Washington, DC, Gettysburg, PA, Boulder, CO) as well as when they are remote or teleworking. As a smaller bureau within the Department of Commerce, some services are provided by the Department. OPCM provides support for Risk Management, Acquisition, Facilities, Operations, Human Resources, Budget, Finance, and Information Technology (IT). OPCM is comprised of four (4) divisions:
Enterprise Strategy, Acquisition and Management Division
The Enterprise Strategy, Acquisition and Management (ESAM) Division (EMD) is responsible for NTIA strategy, governance, and enterprise risk management, as well as support for OPCM management as an organization. EMD supports the full life cycle of acquisitions, including coordination with the Department of Commerce’s Enterprise Services which provides acquisition, procurement and purchase card services to NTIA. EMD also oversees property management, facilities, and operations including transit benefits and parking. Finally, EMD will be leading NTIA’s Continuity of Operations (COOP) program in the future.
