Naval Open Architecture Contract Guidebook for Program Managers

Abstract

Purpose: The Naval Open Architecture Contract Guidebook for Program Managers is to be used by Program Managers (PMs) who are incorporating Naval Open Architecture (NOA) principles (see NOA Requirements Letter, available on the NOA website at https://acc.dau.mil/oa) into National Security System (NSS) acquisition programs as defined by 40 U.S.C 11101 et seq. These same principles, described later in this document, can be tailored to apply to the acquisition of any system or service, including those not considered to be information intensive. This Guidebook contains recommendations and is offered with the understanding that individual Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and programs must have the flexibility to adapt its principles and guidance to meet their needs. This document is intended to augment, rather than replace, existing contractual source materials such as the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).
