Part 6 - Contracting Guidance for Acquisition

This document outlines process and system/product requirements appropriate to achieving NESI compliance in acquisition strategy planning, solicitation, and contract execution. It does not provide a general tutorial on the acquisition process or artifacts; only NESI-related concepts are discussed here.

For the overall structure and processes for capability acquisition, refer to the Title 10 U.S.C., DoD 5000 series regulations, the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and the DoD Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS).

It is assumed here that the acquisition program of interest is a new start or major modification, and that it complies with the systems acquisition lifecycle mandated by reference (b). The migration of legacy/existing systems to net-centricity is primarily addressed in NESI Part 3: Net-centric Migration Guidance.
