About this page...
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 1996, as amended by section 845 of the NDAA for FY 1998, allowed the Department of Defense (DoD), with approval of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), to conduct a personnel demonstration project with its civilian acquisition workforce. The DoD Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project (AcqDemo) was implemented on February 7, 1999, in accordance with the Federal Register notice (64 FR 1426), January 8, 1999. AcqDemo was an opportunity to re-engineer the civilian personnel system to meet the needs of the Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (AT&L) Workforce and to facilitate the fulfillment of the DoD acquisition mission.
