dc.description.abstract	This article examines the intent and outcomes of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) in light of research literature on the sociology of the professions. It indicates that professionalization is leading to an acquisition workforce that is expert and specialized, yet insular and careerist. Professionalism thus comes at a price, and a major question for those dealing with acquisition workforce reform issues is how to keep this price as low as possible.
