What is
Defense Acquisition?
The Department of Defense (DoD) acquires goods and services from industry, federal arsenals, and shipyards to fulfill the DoD needs. Often these goods and services are for the use of, or support of, military missions. Acquisition is a budget term that applies to more than just the purchase of an item or service. The acquisition process encompasses the design, engineering, construction, testing, development, sustainment and disposal of weapons or related items purchased for the Department’s use.
