ACQUISITION PROGRAM STRUCTURE GUIDE
A Message from PEO C4I
This Guide is a compilation of commonly used statutory, regulatory and local policy and procedures applicable to all funded efforts under the cognizance of PEO C4I. I recommend Program Managers (PMs), Acquisition Program Managers (APMs) and Project Managers use this guide to assist them in developing structure for managing, and executing all PEO C4I programs and projects. The recommendations and procedures contained herein are consistent with current directives, and while flexible enough to allow for program differences, will add uniformity, traceability, and conformity to all funded efforts within PEO C4I.
This Guide is a PEO C4I managed initiative intended to provide you with a resource to assist in the execution of your acquisition responsibilities in the most timely and effective manner. Responsibility for this guide will reside in the PEO Acquisition Manager Office (PEO-C4I-AM) and the most current version can be found on the Acquisition Management Office (AMO) website.
I urge you to take full advantage of the opportunity to improve this guidance and welcome your feedback. Please share your thoughts on this document by directing your comments, in writing, to the PEO C4I Acquisition Manager.
Signed
DENNIS M. BAUMAN

Purpose of the Acquisition Guide:
The purpose of this Guide is to provide a model for managing acquisition programs and a Common Process resource for PEO C4I to assist in ensuring their programs are properly structured in accordance with governing regulations and directives. This Guide specifically addresses the management of acquisition programs that reside within PEO C4I.
The Department of Defense (DoD) encourages Acquisition Managers to tailor programmatics; however, Acquisition Managers must be committed to ensuring that PEO C4I programs are in compliance with the mandated requirements of DoD Directive 5000.1, DoD Instruction 5000.2, and SECNAV Instruction 5000.2C. Additionally, the discretionary guidance of the DoD Defense Acquisition Guidebook, the DoN Acquisition and Capabilities Guidebook, and this guide are recommended to assist Acquisition Managers in structuring their programs. Acquisition Managers must also be committed to ensuring that their programs can be easily reviewed by the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA), have continuity through archived historical data and take advantage of commonality between programs.
