Acquisition Community Connection

This CoP is designed to help a Program Manager (PM) manage the unique factors associated with an international dimension of his/her program for the benefit of all concerned stakeholders. The DAU International Department has populated this CoP with pertinent reference material, websites, etc. as a starting point. However, members are asked to share their experiences in planning and executing an international acquisition program. If a member has used a particular reference document, found a helpful website, written an internal paper summarizing international elements of their program, etc., the Community can be well-served from sharing these items.

[Response] I believe Army managers are ones to query/execute - this is not an OSD-level system. If the Army IACP Working/Action Group representatives need help from the Functional IPT there is no reason not to support.
[Response] Do you anticipate that this will be automated through the ACRB certification process in the near future. Having this certification on the ACRB would be beneficial.
