This version has changes to 10 different documents including the DAG, DoDI 5000.85_DAFI 61-151, Analysis of Alternatives Cost Estimating Handbook, and more. For more information on what documents were added/changed/removed please refer to the APM Document Changes page. If you have questions or feedback please use our Contact Us page.

Defense Acquisition Guidebook is Being Retired

August 15, 2022September 6, 2022Webmaster

DAU is retiring the Defense Acquisition Guidebook and replacing it with a series of new guidebooks. To prioritize the transition of the APM consistent with the expected 16 Sept retirement date, we need your help to prioritize the inclusion of the new guidebooks. Please note the replacement for Chapter 3 (Engineering guidance) is currently in the APM while Chapter 8 (Test and Evaluation) and Chapter 9 (Program Protection) do not currently have superseding guidance. Thanks for your recommendations to enable the update. The survey is now closed.

Finally, we have a tool that contains everything we need. We no longer have to go to several different areas.

Thank you for building this product. As a PM with an engineering degree, this helps organize the data in a way I think. The introduction to the website definitely helped me to understand the structure and make the data useable for the future.

GS-12 Program Manager

Great quick update of the significant revisions to the tool. This was extremely timely training, as we are in the early planning phase for MS-B and ASP development. The tool will be extremely helpful.

I work in Space Sustainment, but knowing the steps involved and having the ability to drill down into those steps to know what is being required of the program office is invaluable.
