An Acquisition Strategy is required for all acquisition programs regardless of acquisition category. The Acquisition Strategy is a top-level road map for program execution from program initiation through post-production support.
Acquisition reform and the revolution in DoD business affairs calls for and allows for innovative acquisition strategies, aligned if practicable to commercial business practices. Increased use of Commercial Items at all levels is encouraged to reduce cost and "stay up with explosive technology change." Evolutionary acquisition strategies aligned with a revised requirements generation process are intended to reduce risk while shortening the cycle time of product delivery to the warfighter. Strategies advocating increased responsibility by contractors, especially related to life cycle support are recommended to reduce cost and respond to a downsized government workforce.
