Reissues DoD 4140.65-M (Reference (a)) in accordance with the authority in DoD Directive 5134.12 (Reference (b)) to establish guidance for the issuance, use, and disposal of wood packaging material (WPM) in compliance with International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) Number 15 (Reference (c)).

This Instruction establishes policy and assigns responsibilities for SSN use reduction in the Department of Defense in accordance with the authority in DoD Directive 5124.02, establishes a DoD SSN Use Reduction Plan, Incorporates and cancels Directive-Type Memorandum 07-015.

The requirement in reference (a) for the Department of Defense Chieflnformation Officer (DoD CIO) to confirm Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) and Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) programs for Title 40/CCA compliance is cancelled. Henceforth, the DoD CIO and Component CIO will use a tiered-accountability approach to execute risk-based oversight described in reference (b), for all programs that acquire information technology including National Security Systems, regardless of Acquisition Category (ACA T) level.

This memorandum supersedes the December 26, 2007, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration memorandum, "Designation of Major Automated Information System Programs and Information Technology Services Acquisitions Oversight List."

The definitions of a MAIS program and Other Major Information Technology Investment Program have been codified in section 2445a of title 10, U.s.C. The updated MAIS Oversight List (Attachment I) includes baselined and un-baselined programs that meet these definitions and must report under chapter 144A of title 10, U.S.c. The list is sorted by the lead DoD acquisition component and indicates each program's Acquisition Category, Milestone Decision Authority, Overarching Integrated Product Team, and Joint Capability Area assignments.

Frank Kendall, Acting Undersecretary of Defense (AT&L), discusses his priorities in relation to the recently released defense strategy. At a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Kendall said his highest priority program is the government workforce and having a more capable and qualified acquisition community.

Kendall said, “If we’re going to be successful, we’re going to have to change. We have to change how we think about the money, how we value it, how we spend it and how we do our business. The change has to be real. It can’t be superficial...we’ve got to change what we actually do. It takes a lot of work. It takes tenacity.”

Starting in November 2011 , CON 115, Contracting Fundamentals, will replace CON 110, Mission Support Planning, as a core training requirement for PM Level II DA WIA certification. After December 2011, Defense Acquisition University (DAU) will no longer offer CON 110. More details appear in the attached memo.

Estevez, ASD(L&MR), and will remain in effect for the period during which Mr. Frank Kendall serves as Acting USD(AT&L) or until otherwise terminated. More details on Mr. Estevez's additional authorities can be found in the attached memo at https://dap.dau.mil/policy/Lists/Policy%20Documents/Attachments/3308/DelOfAuth-ASD(LMR).pdf.

A memorandum of thanks from Dr. Carter as he transitions from his USD(AT&L) role to Deputy Secretary of Defense.

On September 14, the PDUSD(AT&L) issued Life-Cycle Sustainment Plan (LCSP) guidance and a newly developed LCSP outline. The guidance references earlier PDUSD(AT&L) direction to separate the LCSP from the Acquisition Strategy and requires an LCSP for all acquisition programs. The outline is designed to be a tool for programs to effectively and affordably satisfy life-cycle sustainment requirements. The PDUSD(AT&L) memo provides additional implementation detail.

This DTM implements and institutionalizes selected requirements of the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of2009 (Public Law 111-23) (Reference (a)). The law established a number of requirements that directly impact the operation of the Defense Acquisition System and the duties of key officials that support it.

• This DTM amends the Acquisition Policy in DoD Instruction 5000.02 (Reference (b)), the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) (Reference (c)), and the associated business practices contained in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (Reference (d)).

• This DTM is effective immediately and shall be incorporated into References (b), (c), and (d) within 180 days.

This memorandum provides guidance that will improve the effectiveness of EVM across the Department. To be successful, EVM practices and competencies must be integrated into the program manager's acquisition planning and execution processes; the data provided by EVM must be accurate, reliable, and timely; and EVM must be implemented in a disciplined manner. The Office of Performance Assessment and Root Cause Analysis (PARCA) was created in December 2009 as the principal DoD office for conducting performance assessments and root cause analyses of Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MOAPs) as statutorily required by the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act (WSARA) of 2009, Public Law 111-23. A key element of PARCA's statutory responsibility entails evaluating the utility of performance metrics for cost, schedule, and performance of MDAPs. The implementation and use of EVM across the acquisition community falls within PARCA's area of responsibility. PARCA is responsible and accountable for EVM performance, oversight, and governance across the Department.

On July 18th, the PDUSD(AT&L) issued Program Protection Plan (PPP) guidance and a newly developed PPP outline. The guidance increases emphasis on early program protection planning and reflects a more comprehensive approach to delivering trusted systems. Like the previously issued TDS/AS and SEP outlines, the PPP outline constitutes expected business practice and is effective immediately. The PDUSD(AT&L) memo provides additional implementation detail.

On June 23rd, the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, Mr Frank Kendall, signed Directive Type Memorandum 11-009 establishing the Business Capability Lifecycle model as the acquisition process for Defense Business Systems (DBS). The policy is tailored to the unique requirements of DBS and specifies procedures for DBS development, testing, production and support.  The new policy cancels previously issued memoranda on DBS and is immediately effective.

This DTM, in accordance with the authority in Reference (a) and pursuant to Reference (b), establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and provides guidance for development planning in support of defense acquisition. This DTM is effective upon its publication to the DoD Issuances Website and shall be incorporated into Reference (c). This DTM shall expire effective March 5, 2012.

Establishes policy in accordance with DoD Directive 5134.01 (Reference (a)) to implement and institutionalize the requirements of section 805 of Public Law 111-84 (Reference (b)). Reference (b) directs a number of changes to DoD policies designed to improve weapon systems life cycle management and product support by establishing new requirements that directly impact acquisition, fielding, and sustainment decisions.

Is effective upon its publication to the DoD Issuances Website; it shall be incorporated into DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02 (Reference (c)), DoDI 5000.66 (Reference (d)), the Defense Acquisition Guidebook (Reference (e)), and the Defense Acquisition Workforce Career Management Manual (Reference (f)). This DTM shall expire effective March 5, 2012.

This memorandum provides amplifying guidance to the contracting community regarding the November 24, 2010, DPAP memorandum "Improving Competition in Defense Procurement."  It clarifies that the November 24, 2010, guidance is applicable only to competitive procurements above the simplified acquisition threshold and specifically identifies its applicability to commercial items. Further details are provided within the memorandum.

The September 14th Better Buying Power memorandum directed a review of the documentation required by DoDI 5000.02 in support of the acquisition process.  On April 20, 2011, the PDUSD(AT&L) issued streamlined, annotated outlines for the Technology Development Strategy/Acquisition Strategy (found at https://dap.dau.mil/policy/Lists/Policy%20Documents/Attachments/3282/PDUSD-Approved.TDS_AS_Outline.docx) and the Systems Engineering Plan (https://dap.dau.mil/policy/Lists/Policy%20Documents/Attachments/3283/PDUSD-Approved.SEP%20Outline.docx).  These outlines have been completely re-written and re-focused on information central to the purpose of the document.  The outlines constitute expected business practice and are effective immediately.  Additional document outlines will be distributed as they are completed.  They will be included in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and referenced in the next update to DoDI 5000.02.  This PDUSD(AT&L) memo provides additional implementation detail.

The September 14th Better Buying Power memorandum directed a review of the documentation required by DoDI 5000.02 in support of the acquisition process.  On April 20, 2011, the PDUSD(AT&L) issued streamlined, annotated outlines for the Technology Development Strategy/Acquisition Strategy and the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP) - the FORMER is attached to this post.  These outlines have been completely re-written and re-focused on information central to the purpose of the document.  The outlines constitute expected business practice and are effective immediately.  Additional document outlines will be distributed as they are completed.  They will be included in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and referenced in the next update to DoDI 5000.02.  The PDUSD(AT&L) memo provides additional implementation detail.

The purpose of this memorandum is to encourage maximum use of APTWs. These workshops address the importance of quickly establishing effective working relationships and task priorities between government and industry program offices immediately after contract award or re-baseline actions. APTWs were initiated by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) in 2004 to assist government and industry program managers and staffs in aligning program expectations, organizations, processes, and functional lines of communication. Seventeen tailored workshops have been completed to date with positive results and feedback. Some of the many benefits include: early alignment of government and industry team organizations; publication of roadmaps to Integrated Baseline Review and other near-term planning events; agreement on management review scope and processes; and resolution of issues including differences in interpretation of contracts and other documents. APTWs are an assist effort and, as such, any conclusions and recommendations are only provided to the government and industry program managers, thus encouraging open and candid communication.

In August 2010, Secretary Robert M. Gates announced a set of initiatives aimed at reducing overhead costs and improving efficiency across the Department as a whole - with special attention to the massive headquarters and support bureaucracies outside the military services. On March 14, 2011, the Secretary announced the results of a number of studies being conducted as part of the DoD Efficiency Initiative (attached). Among other things, the Secretary directed the elimination or downgrading of approximately 200 civilian Senior Executive Service or equivalent (Civilian Senior Executive/Equivalent (CSE)) positions. The Secretary has designated the Under Secretary of Defense, Personnel and Readiness to lead the implementation of this reduction, and the guidance in this memorandum deals specifically with the Secretary's direction to reduce the Department's CSE workforce. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Civilian Personnel Policy (DASD(CPP)) will lead the Implementation Plan for achieving the directed reductions, and detailed guidance regarding that Plan will be issued by DASD(CPP). Implementation Plan activities are to consider all flexibilities available to support the Secretary's direction to ensure the best possible outcomes for impacted employees.

Consistent with the Department of Defense's (DoD) intent to obtain greater efficiency and productivity in defense acquisition, I am eliminating the Program Manager's (PM) reporting responsibility for the Post-Critical Design Review (CDR) Report currently required by DoD Instruction 5000.02, Enclosure 2, para 6.c.(6)(c)(l). The Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Systems Engineering) (DASD(SE)) will participate in program CDRs and prepare a brief assessment of the program's design maturity and technical risks which may require Milestone Decision Authority (MDA) attention. Consequently, PMs of Major Defense Acquisition Programs shall be required to invite DASD(SE) engineers to their system-level CDRs and make available CDR artifacts. The draft CDR assessments will be coordinated with the PM prior to forwarding to the MDA. PMs shall continue to document CDRs in accordance with component best practices.

This procedural change is effective immediately and constitutes expected business practice. It will be documented in the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and institutionalized in the next update to DoDI 5000.02. I encourage Component MDAs to consider similar assignment of CDR reporting responsibilities for acquisition programs under their cognizance.

This Directive:

a. Reissues DoD Directive (DoDD) 5100.1 (Reference (a)).

b. Establishes the functions of the Department of Defense and its major Components, supporting the core mission areas of the Armed Forces, which are broad DoD military operations and activities required to achieve the strategic objectives of the National Security Strategy, National Defense Strategy, and National Military Strategy (References (b), (c), and (d)), in accordance with title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.) (Reference (e)).

This memorandum provides additional guidance for competitive situations in which only one offer is received in response to a solicitation and is based on the direction provided in the USD(AT&L) memorandum "Better Buying Power: Guidance for Obtaining Greater Efficiency and Productivity in Defense Spending" dated September 14, 2010. To maximize the savings that are obtained through competition, contracting officers will no longer use the standard at FAR 15.403-1(c)(1)(ii) or (iii) to determine that the offered price is based on adequate competition when only one offer is received.

Purpose: To provide interim guidance pending formal issuance of Directive-Type Memorandum (DTM) policy in accordance with the authority in DoD Directive (DoDD) 5134.01 (Reference (a) and the guidance in DoDD 5000.01 (Reference (b).

This guidance:
•   Establishes interim guidance requiring the use ofthe Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) model as the acquisition process for DBS, and assigns responsibilities and provides procedures for meeting BCL and DBS requirements. BCL provides the framework for structuring the definition, development, testing, production, deployment, and support of DBS. This model is a guideline and is not intended to preclude tailoring, consistent with statute and sound business practice.

• Incorporates and cancels Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L) memorandums (References (c) and (d).

• Is effective immediately until formally issued as a DTM and incorporated into DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02 (Reference (e).

This DTM 10-015 establishes policy to implement and institutionalize the requirements of section 805 of the FY10 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 111-84), which directed a number of changes to DoD policies designed to improve weapon systems life cycle management and product support by establishing new requirements that directly impact acquisition, fielding, and sustainment decisions. The DTM states that “it is DoD policy that a mandatory Product Support Manager (PSM) position shall be identified and assigned for each ACAT I and ACAT II system and filled by a properly qualified Military Service member or full-time employee of the Department of Defense.”

Dr. Ashton Carter's blueprint for eliminating inefficiencies in the $400 billion that DOD spends annually on contracts for weapons, products and services is in a three-page directive, with three accompanying briefing slides.  The memo gives acquisition professionals an initial look at his plan to use incentives to industry and new government practices to achieve efficiencies, part of a broader effort by Defense Secretary Robert Gates to find savings.

Section 8121 of the DoD Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. Law No. 111-118), imposes competition requirements on congressionally directed spending items and earmarks intended for award to a "for-profit" entity. The statutory competition
requirements mandated by section 8121 are more stringent for congressionally directed spending items and earmarks intended for award to a "for-profit" entity sponsored solely by members of the House of Representatives than for those sponsored by members of the Senate. This memorandum provides compliance guidance with respect to section 8121.

DoD Directive 5145.1, General Counsel of the Department of Defense, May 2, 2001, Incorporating Change 2, June 26, 2009

Creates Senate-approved position replacing the existing D,PA&E with Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE).  Establishes two deputy directors, one for cost assessment and one for program evaluation. 

It is DoD policy that a single DoD-wide financial management Regulation shall be used by all DoD Components for accounting, budgeting, finance, and financial management education and training.

This Directive reissues reference (a) to update policy and responsibilities for the security and policy review and clearance of official DoD information proposed for official public release by the Department of Defense and its employees under reference (b).

Provide policy and guidance for the SMCA mission and ensure compliance with the responsibilities outlined in this Directive.

Establishes policy and assigns responsibilitiesto security, intelligence, and counterintelligence (CI)activities that provide support to acquisition organizationsafter critical acquisition program information, technologies,and/or systems have been identified.

Establishes policy, assigns responsibility, and provides instructions for the international transfer of dual-use and defense-related technology, articles, and services, by implementing relevant portions of section 1701 et seq. of title 50, United States Code (U.S.C.)

Provides guidance and procedures for the training, certification, and management of the DoD workforce conducting Information Assurance (IA) functions in assigned duty positions.

The ability to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DoD classified information and unclassified information that has not been approved for public release during transmission is of paramount importance for an effective DoD security posture.

This Directive  updates theresponsibilities, functions, relationships and authoritiesof the DIA; and establishes the Military IntelligenceBoard (MIB), with mission, organization, responsibilities,functions, and authorities as prescribed herein.

This Manual is reissued under the authority of and in accordance with DoD Instruction 4145.26 (Reference (a)) and, accordingly, is applicable to all contractual actions entered into on or after the reissue date. The prior DoD 4145.26-M (Reference (b)), dated September 16, 1997, is hereby rescinded and superseded, yet will remain applicable and effective for contractual actions entered into on or after September 16, 1997 and before the reissue date. The Manual provides safety standards common to DoD and private industry ammunition and explosives (AE), operations, and facilities performing AE work or AE services under DoD contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, or other procurement methods. DoD 6055.9-STD (Reference (c)) establishes these AE safety standards and serves as the primary source document for this Manual. The explosives safety requirements included in this Manual are consistent with Reference (c) so that AE safety standards for DoD Components and DoD contractors are equivalent.

This Standard establishes uniform safety standards applicable to ammunition and explosives throughout their life-cycle, to protect associated personnel and property, unrelated personnel and property, and the environment from the potential damaging effects of an accident involving ammunition and explosives.

This chapter sets forth standards for protecting workers and the general public from the harmful effects of toxic chemical munitions and agents associated with research, testing, training, preservation and maintenance operations, storage, and demilitarization at laboratories, manufacturing plants, and depots as well as other DoD Component agent operations, exclusive of combat training and operations.

C13.1.1. Enclosure 5 to DoD Instruction 6055.7 (Reference (aj)) identifies the accidents that shall be reported to the DDESB. Accident notifications and reports shall be prepared in accordance with implementing regulations to Reference (aj). This reporting requirement has been assigned Report Control Symbol (RCS) DD-AT&L(AR)1020 in accordance with Reference (b).

This chapter establishes standards to protect personnel and property from explosive and CA hazards (see Chapter 11) associated with UXO or other military munitions, to include DMM, that have experienced abnormal environments. This chapter’s standards do not apply during contingencies, combat operations, and military operations other than war; however, these explosives safety principles should always be considered in such circumstances and applied as the situation allows.

These explosive safety standards (hereafter referred to as “Standards”) are issued under the authority of DoD Directive 6055.9E (Reference (a)). These Standards are designed to manage risks associated with DoD-titled ammunition and explosives (AE) by providing protection criteria to minimize serious injury, loss of life, and damage to property. It is DoD policy to comply with the applicable Federal and State laws and regulations. Where the Standard conflicts with such laws and regulations, DoD components shall ensure the safety of DoD personnel and the public while complying and notify the Chairman, DDESB, through its Board Member, of the conflict. These Standards are not intended to be so rigid as to prevent the DoD Components from accomplishing their assigned missions.

The DoD hazard classification system consists of nine hazard classes plus a non-regulated category that applies when explosives and hazardous materials are present in an item, but not to the degree that criteria for assignment to one of the nine classes are met. AE is assigned to the class that represents an item’s predominant hazard characteristic.

This chapter contains DoD standards for construction of ECM, barricades, barricaded open storage modules, special structures, ARMCO, Inc. revetments, and underground storage facilities.

This chapter defines minimum explosives safety criteria for the design, maintenance, testing, and inspection of Lightning Protection Systems (LPS). Properly maintained LPS are required (with exceptions) for AE facilities. If other LPS for these facilities are used, they shall offer equivalent protection to the types prescribed herein.

This Standard is issued under the authority of DoD Directive 6055.9E, “Explosives Safety Management and the DoD Explosives Safety Board,” August 19, 2005 (Reference (a)), and cancels DoD 6055.9-STD, “DoD Ammunition and Explosives Safety Standards,” October 5, 2004. It establishes uniform safety standards applicable to ammunition and explosives throughout their life-cycle, to protect associated personnel and property, unrelated personnel and property, and the environment from the potential damaging effects of an accident involving ammunition and explosives.

The WWRS program was designed to facilitate the transfer of FMS customer excess serviceable materiel between FMS customers less time consuming, less bureaucratic, and
part of the FMS program. WWRS is a source of supply that is not dependent on new procurements. As part of the FMS process, WWRS aligns FMS excesses to FMS requirements. Requirements that cannot be matched to excesses are passed to the DoD supply system for procurement action. Prior to the WWRS program, the TPT and the FMS Excess Materiel Returns (FEMR) programs were the only avenues available to the
FMS customer to resell serviceable excess FMS acquired materiel. Based on the results of a sampling of FMS customers in 1995, there was a $1.8B stockpile of FMS excess
serviceable assets available for resale. This information confirmed customer’s complaints that neither the TPT nor the FEMR programs were effective and expedient ways to sell or transfer unneeded FMS acquired serviceable assets. AFSAC conducted an analysis of the two existing programs, with the assistance of the FMS customers, to identify program shortfalls and identify areas for improvement. The result is the WWRS
program.
