DOD officials are making amends for past FITARA scorecard performances, offering better transparency and better implementation of the IT acquisition law.

The combination of the three categories took agencies from a potential spread of five As, 14 Bs and 5 Cs to only three Bs, 12 Cs, eight Ds and an F.

The new FITARA scorecard shows that most federal agencies backslid in their implementation of the IT acquisition law, even ones that shined previously.

Fourteen of the 25 agencies graded have neither improved nor deteriorated since the last scorecard was released in June.

It's the first agency to receive an "A" grade on a FITARA scorecard, now in its fourth iteration.
