In 2008, the IAC Program announced changes to our contract structure, in response to changes in legislation requiring enhanced competition. Since that time, the IAC Program has awarded our first BCO and first multiple-award TAT contracts under the new construct Data and Analysis Center for Software (DACS) and Software, Networks, Information, Modeling and Simulation (SNIM) respectively.
In coordination with ASD(R&E) and Air Force Acquisition, the IAC Program Management Office has drafted some revisions to our acquisition strategy. These revisions incorporate lessons learned from DACS and SNIM awards (including input from government and industry), as well as changes necessary due to our evolving operations and acquisition environment (OSD Efficiency Initiatives, and other developments). Please see the detailed chart below. These changes are under consideration and should be considered DRAFT. We are currently conducting market research as a first step in developing a formal acquisition strategy. Click here to view slides, attendees, and Q&A from our Industry Day on FedBizOpps.gov
The proposed changes will enhance and expand IAC capabilities, while achieving the efficiencies identified by the SECDEF. To assist customers in navigating these changes, we have provided transition charts for each IAC. Click on image below to view the printable pdf .
