Operation of the Defense Acquisition System

Abstract

This Instruction: 1.1. Establishes a simplified and flexible management framework for translating mission needs and technological opportunities, based on validated mission needs and requirements, into stable, affordable, and well-managed acquisition programs that include weapon systems and automated information systems. 1.2. Establishes a general approach for managing acquisition programs while acknowledging that every technology project and acquisition program is unique and that any particular project or program, particularly non-major programs, may not need to follow the entire process. 1.3. Consistent with statutory requirements and reference (a), authorizes Milestone Decision Authorities (MDAs) to tailor procedures in order to achieve cost, schedule, and performance goals. 1.4. Implements reference (a), the guidelines of 0MB Circular A-11, Part 3 (reference (b)), and current laws, and the procedures in reference (c). 1.5. Authorizes the publication of DoD 5000.2-R, which establishes procedures to be followed for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs), Major Automated Information Systems (MAISs), and those non-major systems specifically identified in the Regulation in accordance with DoD Directive 5025.1 (reference (d)).
