A U.S. federal law enacted in 1996 to improve the acquisition, management, and oversight of information technology (IT) across federal agencies. The Clinger-Cohen Act requires agencies to adopt a strategic, business-focused approach to IT investment, strengthen capital planning processes, and improve accountability for technology programmes. Contractors pursuing federal IT opportunities should be aware of the Act because it influences how agencies plan, justify, acquire, and manage major technology investments.
