This Instruction:
Establishes a simplified and flexible management framework for translating mission needs and technological opportunities, based on validated mission needs and requirements, into stable, affordable, and well-managed acquisition programs that include weapon systems and automated information systems.
Establishes a general approach for managing acquisition programs while acknowledging that every technology project and acquisition program is unique and that any particular project or program, particularly non-major programs, may not need to follow the entire process.
Consistent with statutory requirements and reference (a), authorizes Milestone Decision Authorities (MDAs) to tailor procedures in order to achieve cost, schedule, and performance goals.
Implements reference (a), the guidelines of OMB Circular A-11, Part 3 (reference (b)), and current laws, and the procedures in reference (c).
Authorizes the publication of DoD 5000.2-R, which establishes procedures to be followed for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs), Major Automated Information Systems (MAISs), and those non-major systems specifically identified in the Regulation in accordance with DoD Directive 5025.1 (reference (d)).
This Instruction applies to:
The Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Departments, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, the Defense Agencies, DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities within the Department of Defense (hereafter referred to collectively as "the DoD Components").
All defense technology projects and acquisition programs. Some requirements, where stated, apply only to MDAPs and MAISs.
In general, highly sensitive classified, cryptologic, and intelligence projects and programs shall follow the guidance in this Instruction and reference (c) for technology projects and acquisition programs of equivalent acquisition category. The MDA shall approve proposed tailoring of the systems acquisition process for these projects and programs.
