NSIAD-93-129 Acquisition Management: Implementation of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act
In response to continuing concerns about the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability to effectively manage its acquisition programs, Congress enacted the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act on November 5, 1990. The act requires the Secretary of Defense to establish an acquisition work force with specific experience, education, and training qualifications. Specific provisions of the act require the Secretary of Defense to (1) establish a management structure and policies and regulations for implementing the act's provisions, (2) establish qualification requirements, (3) provide training and education to meet these requirements, and (4) enhance civilian opportunities to progress to senior acquisition positions. The act requires that we determine whether DOD has effectively implemented the act and make any recommendations appropriate to meet the act's objectives. This report evaluates DOD's implementation efforts through January 1993. The act also permits DOD officials to waive specific qualification requirements pertaining to program managers and other acquisition personnel. The act requires up to report annually on DOD's compliance with those waiver provisions.
Defense Management: Implementation of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act
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.
