Section 809 Panel: Reports, Recommendations & Resource Library Collection home page

Logo
US Congress created the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition Regulations (the Section 809 Panel) in the FY2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to provide recommendations that would better position the defense acquisition system to meet the continuously evolving threats posed by the nation’s near-peer competitors and non-state actors. Over two and a half years, the panel provided 98 recommendations to Congress and the Secretary of Defense to change existing laws, regulations, and policies; to modernize the defense acquisition system for the 21st century; and to enable DoD to more consistently buy what it needs in a timely and cost-effective manner. These recommendations are not limited to “little-A” acquisition, but instead evaluate all three interconnected processes of “big-A” acquisition: budget, requirements, and procurement. All of these recommendations were informed by detailed research into current policies, directives, instructions, laws, and regulations; reports from government organizations, non-profits, and journalists; and hundreds of interviews with key stakeholders. The panel completed its mission as mandated by Congress on July 15, 2019. The documents in this collection contain the panel’s final reports (also archived at DTIC). It also contains hundreds of primary documents that informed the panel’s final recommendations as well as legislative resources, including decades of past NDAAs and other acquisition-related laws.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
