You may want to keep your eye out for the BUR. For those of you who are not Washington insiders, it is not associated with a saddle, but is the Bottoms Up Review that implements the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR).
One area that should be addressed in the BUR as part of maturing the enterprise is the Acquisition workforce.
Every program manager at DHS and its components has an acquisition responsibility.
In the early 90's Congress passed the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). It required that there be certifications for the acquisition workforce within specific training requirements.
The Acquisition life cycle is a critical element of developing capabilities from early stage Science and Technology (S&T) to training and staffing the capability to life cycle replacement of assets.
The Homeland Security enterprise probably needs this kind of thinking.
It will be interesting to see what the BUR produces.
Thanks for checking in.
