Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) Lists - Updated 16 December 2011

On the DoD Acquisition Resources and Analysis Website shown above, there is a "Public" MDAP list and a "DoD Only" list (.mil required).

In order to be an MDAP, an acquisition program must either be designated by the USD(AT&L) as an MDAP or estimated by the USD(AT&L) to require an eventual total expenditure for research, development, test, and evaluation of more than $365 million in FY 2000 constant dollars or more than $2.190B in procurement in FY2000 constant dollars.

MDAPs are either Acquisition Category (ACAT) I "D" (for "Defense Acquisition Board (DAB)" and for which the USD (AT&L) is the Milestone Decision Authority) or ACAT I "C" (for "Component" and for which the Component/Service Acquisition Executive is the Milestone Decision Authority).

Please note that Programs fall on and off the list periodically!
