The Continental Commissariat of Procurement and Sustainability (CCPS) is an executive commissariat of the Continental government, subordinate to the Central Auditing Commission of the Continentalist Party of the United Commonwealth (CACCPUC). Its primary function is to control and regulate government procurement. The commissariat was created in 1979 by the Procurement Integrity Act of 1979 to control and regulate the manner in which the federal, state and local government bodies in the United Commonwealth acquire goods, services (including construction) and interests in real property.

At the core of the Commissariat for Procurement and Sustainability is the Continental Acquisition, Procurement and Sustainability Regulation, a principle set independently by the commissariat. The Commissariat sets the parameters for standard solicitation provisions and contract clauses. Provisions include certification requirements, notices and instructions for firms that may be interested in government contracts. Prior to the establishment the the Commissariat, the Central Auditing Commission of the Continentalist Party was the main regulatory body to deter corruption in government contracting.

The Commissariat for Procurement and Sustainability employs approximately 21,500 service employees, while also maintaining a payroll of classified employees in Orleans, Indiana unknown to both the national government and party apparatus. Its various properties operate at a budget of roughly $102 billion and oversees $604 billion in procurement annually. It maintains roughly 28,500 federal facilities across the United Commonwealth and roughly 350,000 vehicles in its motor pool. Some of its largest properties include the headquarters of the Commissariat of Inter-Services Intelligence, National Dormitory and the diplomatic offices of all foreign embassies within the United Commonwealth.

Purpose

The Commissariat of Procurement and Sustainability's mandate is to deter corruption through preventing fraudulent bidding, bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, embezzlement and political patronage in government contracting.

Structure

The structure of the Commissariat can be divided broadly into two separate categories, the Joint Commission for Procurement (JCP) and the Joint Commission for Sustainability (JCS). The Commission for Internal Procurement (CIP) provides government owned products and services across the federal government, and assists other government agencies in allocating already owned government resources. The Commission for External Procurement (CEP) manages the process in which the government purchases resources from independent worker cooperatives across the country. The Commission for Internal and External Sustainability (CIES), formerly separated as the Commission for Internal Sustainability (CIS) and the Commission for External Sustainability (CES), works to preserve and maintain an inventory of already existing government property.

The Commissariat is unilaterally controlled by the Administrative Commissar, commonly referred to as simply Commissar. The Administrator Commissar is selected through a process unknown to the Central Committee of the Continentalist Party and the President of the Presidium of the United Commonwealth. Appointment and promotion procedures within the Commissariat is controlled by the Commissar and by the advisory council of the Commissar. Throughout the professional careers of those within the Commissions for Internal and External Sustainability, Commission for External Procurement and External Procurement, all employees are required to take on an alias. Service employees outside of Orleans, Indiana are allowed to serve within the Commissariat without taking on a pseudonym.
