INSIDE INDUSTRY
DOD Publishes Defense Acquisition Guidebook
The recently released Defense Acquisition Guidebook is an interactive, Web-based document designed to provide the
acquisition workforce and their industry partners with an on-line instant reference to best business practice as well as supporting policy, statute
and lessons learned.
The guidebook serves as a companion to the revised acquisition policy documents, DOD Directive 5000.1 and DOD Instruction
5000.2, released in May 2003. Those documents established the policy framework for translating mission needs into stable, affordable and well-managed
programs. While the policy documents explain what acquisition managers are required to do, the guidebook complements those documents by proposing how.
The Defense Acquisition Guidebook is located at akss.dau.mil/DAG.
