Training of Contracting and Acquisition Personnel

As of June 30, 1990, the DoD acquisition workforce consisted of about 214,000 military and civilian personnel, of whom about 57,000 work in basic acquisition job series and are assigned to acquisition organizations. The Acquisition Enhancement Program Office develops budgets and controls funding for mandatory acquisition training. The Acquisition Enhancement budget for mandatory acquisition training was $17.8 million for FY 1990 and $18.8 million for FY 1991. The objectives of the audit were to determine whether procurement training was properly funded and executed for the DoD procurement workforce. At the request of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition), the objectives were expanded to include determination of: (1) the number of acquisition personnel who had not completed mandatory training; (2) the abilities of DoD schools to meet mandatory training requirements; and (3) the abilities of the Military Departments and Defense agencies to meet reporting requirements.
