Book Description
The Pres. has announced his intention to improve the acquisition process, particularly given the half a trillion dollars the fed. gov¿t. spent in FY 2009 on acquiring goods and services. The DoD spent $384 billion in FY 2009 on goods and services -- double what it spent in 2001. A high-quality workforce with the right competencies and skill sets will be critical to improving DoD acquisitions. This report determined the efficacy of DoD¿s certification training for its acquisition workforce. It assessed: (1) DoD¿s capability to provide certification training; (2) the extent that such training reaches members of the workforce; and (3) the extent that previous training recommendations have been implemented.

Book Description
The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of implementing the Acquisition Professional Development Program on the Air Force Institute of Technology. APDP is part of a DOD-wide effort to decrease inefficiency in the procurement process. The program encompasses a tri-level certification process based on experience, training, and educational standards. APDP serves as a guideline for professional development of acquisition personnel from entry to senior level management. Many of the courses required for certification are offered through AFIT School of Systems and Logistics. Integrating the new educational requirements as a standard for career development is expected to produce a tremendous increase in AFIT course demands. It is the purpose of this research to analyze the acquisition workforce using the standards of APDP and determine the probable course demand facing AFIT school of Systems and Logistics.

Book Description
The Department of Defense (DoD) Manual, Career Development Program for Acquisition Personnel, states that members of the acquisition workforce may fulfill their mandatory training requirements based on previous experience, education, and/or alternative training programs. The FY 93 Defense Authorization Act requires that DoD have a fulfillment plan in place for eligible acquisition personnel. The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition & Technology) delegated this responsibility to the Director, Acquisition Education, Training and Career Development (AET & CD). The fulfillment plan outlined in this guide utilizes competencies developed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Functional Boards. A consortium of DoD schools under the auspices of the Defense Acquisition University (DAU), then develops and delivers this training to the acquisition workforce. These competencies establish the baseline standards for demonstrating fulfillment of the mandatory courses listed in DoD 5000.52M. The purpose of the fulfillment program is to enable acquisition workforce members to receive credit for courses for which they already have the required competencies. With increased emphasis on training for members of the acquisition workforce, having training on a personnel record makes an employee more competitive with his/her peers. In some cases, however, the employee already possesses the abilities that the course imparts but does not have the formal training. This program is designed to allow that employee to receive credit for the course and not fall behind other employees who receive this training.

Book Description
The DoD has a well-established program for technical/functional development that features uniform standards across all components. Components are pursuing managerial/leadership development along divergent paths that reflect their unique needs. We have developed an outline to integrate managerial/leadership education and training with the existing technical/functional system. The outline calls for DoD to incorporate the latest advantages in technology to take advantage of the best development practices used by other federal agencies and the private sector. The approach requires no changes in statutes and only minimal modification of existing policy. To implement the ideas presented in the outline, we recommend the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) establish managerial/leadership competencies to supplement the existing technical/functional standards, establish continuous learning requirements, and work with the components on a number of programming issues.

Book Description
The Department of the Treasury Acquisition Career Management Program Handbook provides policy, procedures, and guidance to support the implementation of the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Reform Act (FARA) of 1996, OFPP Policy Letter 05-01, Developing and Managing the Acquisition Workforce, and OMB Memorandum dated January 20, 2006, the Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting Program. On January 1, 2000, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in response to Section 4307(g) of the Federal Acquisition Reform Act (FARA), issued a new qualification standard for GS-1102 contracting positions in civilian agencies. The new requirements are generally comparable to those already established for Department of Defense positions in 1990 by the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). The 2000 OPM qualification standard has not been changed by the issuance of either OFFP Policy Letter 05-01 or the January 2006 OMB FAC-C Memorandum.
Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force

Book Description
While there are examples of successful weapon systems acquisition programs within the U.S. Air Force (USAF), many of the programs are still incurring cost growth, schedule delays, and performance problems. The USAF now faces serious challenges in acquiring and maintaining its weapons systems as it strives to maintain its current programs; add new capabilities to counter evolving threats; and reduce its overall program expenditures. Owning the technical baseline is a critical component of the Air Force's ability to regain and maintain acquisition excellence. Owning the technical baseline allows the government acquisition team to manage and respond knowledgeably and effectively to systems development, operations, and execution, thereby avoiding technical and other programmatic barriers to mission success. Additionally, owning the technical baseline ensures that government personnel understand the user requirements, why a particular design and its various features have been selected over competing designs, and what the options are to pursue alternative paths to the final product given unanticipated cost, schedule, and performance challenges. Owning the Technical Baseline for Acquisition Programs in the U.S. Air Force discusses the strategic value to the Air Force of owning the technical baseline and the risk of not owning it and highlights key aspects of how agencies other than the Air Force own the technical baseline for their acquisition programs. This report identifies specific barriers to owning the technical baseline for the Air Force and makes recommendations to help guide the Air Force in overcoming those barriers.
