Arizona State University will receive $149,982 under a Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to envision the use of digital technologies to transform public procurement processes and advance sustainability outcomes. Specifically, the university will conduct research and planning from October 2022 to September 2023 to identify the emerging sociotechnical landscape of public procurement and assess how existing and emerging technologies can support procurement managers in balancing economic, environmental and social concerns. The project will collect qualitative data to develop theoretical frameworks around the disruptions created by new technologies and define the skills needed by future procurement managers. Findings will provide guidance to public organizations on leveraging technology in procurement to achieve sustainability goals in a manner relevant to both practitioners and policymakers.
