The Elmer B. Staats award is awarded by the Procurement Roundtable (PRT). The Directors of the Procurement Round Table believe that Elmer Staats' dedication to public service excellence demonstrated over a career spanning more than 70 years should serve as a beacon to both civil servant and military acquisition professionals as well as to all of those committed to government economy, efficiency and effectiveness. The annual award given by the PRT is named in honor of Elmer Staats and bestowed to an outstanding Acquisition Professional in the Federal Government.

Noteworthy contributions to contracting operation include extraordinary business leadership or team participation in the design, development or execution of an acquisition program or project that furthers an agency’s mission.
