About this page ...

The Defense Acquisition University has established this Special Interest Area (SIA) within the ACC portal to provide a forum for information exchange and peer-to-peer discussions to provide acquisition organizations enterprise best practices to accomplish smart, disciplined, efficient, and effective program terminations when required to do so. The President of the Defense Acquisition University has approved the Smart ShutDown Performance model construct to support all Services and acquisition organizations in this goal. The Smart ShutDown Performance Support SIA provides the defense acquisition community a forum for their “voice to be heard” in identifying goals, processes, shortfalls, issues, best practices, plans, and considerations in all aspects of program termination activities. All contributions to this effort can be submitted to this SIA or to SmartShutDownPS@DAU.mil.The opportunity to contribute your ideas is here, and the time is now.
