DEFENSE ACQUISITION PORTAL IS LIVE
The Defense Acquisition University has deployed the initial version of the Defense Acquisition Portal (DAP). It can be seen and used at https://dap.dau.mil/. The DAP will enhance the breadth and scope of the acquisition process beyond the AKSS (Acquisition, Technology, & Logistics Knowledge Sharing System), which is replaced by the DAP. The DAP includes all of the elements and forces affecting the Big Acquisition Process, including Human Capital Initiatives. Replacing the AKSS, all of the content in the AKSS has been transferred to the DAP, with the majority of it located under the Acquisition tab. There is a new tab dedicated to the Acquisition Workforce, providing information on career management, the Human Capital Initiative, and the 4th Estate. This information includes services on career planning, leadership training, overarching guidance documents, and links to information on professional organizations. There is also a major new feature in DAP called "Acquisition Career Gateways," where each of the fourteen identified acquisition career fields has its own area providing: a career certification guide; formal course enrollment procedures; continuous learning and job specific courses; Ask-A-Professor Q&As; Performance Support/Consulting services available through DAU; and highlighted career field information through blogs by career field experts. The Search feature has been completely reengineered to make it much easier to find the specific kind of learning or job support asset needed. Comments and suggestions on the content and format of the DAP, or on additional information that you would like to see in the DAP, can be made by selecting the "Submit Feedback" button.
