Baseline Study: Implementation of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA)

Abstract

The Director, Acquisition Education, Training and Career Development, tasked LMI to review the Services' and two Defense Agencies' implementation of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). This review serves as a "baseline," achieving two purposes: providing a foundation for comparing current programs among agencies for possible standardization and potential improvements, and forms a benchmark against which subsequent change can be measured. Overall, the Services and Defense Agencies are operating solid programs to manage the acquisition workforce and complying with DAWIA requirements. In addition, this review noted 15 Best Practices and 4 areas of concern (which are noted by text boxes in the margin of the report) . This review captured the programs as a "snapshot" in time. They will change as the initiatives recommended by the Acquisition 2005 Task Force are implemented. For this reason, we recommend a similar study or review be conducted in Spring 2002 to measure the change.
