The Mosh Procurement Cycle

The Mosh Procurement Cycle is a streamlined process for acquiring, validating, and deploying new tools and infrastructure without the slow drag of legacy approval systems. It focuses on speed, security, and accountability. Every stage is designed to keep engineering velocity high while meeting compliance requirements.

Core Stages of the Mosh Procurement Cycle

1. Needs Identification — Define the exact technical and operational requirement. No vague scope. The cycle starts with a clear request that has measurable outcomes.
2. Vendor Screening — Evaluate vendors based on performance metrics, integration capability, and total cost of ownership. Transparency in criteria prevents wasted negotiation.
3. Security Review — Enforce strict checks against vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, and data handling policies. Automated security scanning tools speed up this stage.
4. Contract Finalization — Lock in terms that allow rapid scalability and minimal friction for upgrades. This means cutting unnecessary clauses that slow timelines.
5. Integration Testing — Deploy in a controlled environment to verify compatibility with core systems. This is the filter that prevents production downtime.
6. Approval + Rollout — A single-step sign-off triggers immediate deployment across relevant environments.

The Mosh Procurement Cycle works because it removes unnecessary layers between identification and deployment. It merges procurement operations with engineering workflows. Vendor data lives in accessible dashboards. Security reports integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines, cutting days into minutes.

Adopting the Mosh Procurement Cycle lowers procurement latency across every release. Teams spend more time building and less time waiting for approval chains to finish. The result is faster launches, cleaner code integration, and tighter spend control.
