In April 1988, Executive Order 12637, Productivity Improvement for the Federal Government, called for the establishment of a government-wide program to improve the quality, timeliness and efficiency of services provided by the Federal Government. Subsequently, a Multiple Award Schedule for the implementation of Total Quality Management was established in the Federal Government. The current edition of the Executive Order is 13048, Improving Administrative Management in the Executive Branch. This program evolved into the Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services Schedule. Subsequently, Special Item Numbers 874-6, Competitive Sourcing Support, and 874-7, Program Integration and Project Management Services were added. These new items expanded MOBIS beyond assisting agencies in performance improvement functions and into the realm of fulfilling mission-oriented work. The Schedule title has therefore been changed to Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services.
