Program Narratives
Mission— DAVE and Data Visibility
Data Visibility delivers data standards via the Acquisition Visibility Data Framework (AVDF). Data Visibility supports the acquisition data strategy requirements of Section 836 of the NDAA for FY 2021 and data collection and sharing for additional Acquisition Pathways, Defense Business Systems, and Software Acquisition. AV enables the integration and interoperability of defense acquisition, building an enduring strategic mission advantage by aligning the Department's processes to design, develop, and deliver the acquisition data to enable the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) to meet the Digital Acquisition & Sustainment and Transparency objectives of the Department and the requirements of Congress. Comprehensive digital acquisition, data science and analytics, and increased data transparency and access will improve acquisition decisions, enable sophisticated analysis, and inform innovative ways of doing business so that the OUSD(A&S), OSD staff, and the Services and Components can quickly inform policy and budget decisions with accurate, authoritative data.
Mission— Acquisition Visibility - Software Pilot Program
The FY 2026 request for Acquisition Visibility includes $17.549 thousands of discretionary and $0 thousands of mandatory (reconciliation) for a total of $17.549 thousands. Acquisition Visibility supports two distinct yet interdependent projects enabling a resilient ecosystem supporting acquisition programs across the Department of Defense (DoD): 1) Data Visibility identifies, matures, and publishes acquisition data standards (definitions and metadata) for enterprise-wide transparency and alignment and implements the Acquisition Data Strategy. Data Visibility helps to make acquisition data visible, accessible, understandable, linked, trustworthy, and interoperable. 2) The Defense Acquisition Visibility Environment (DAVE) provides data access via software applications to enable data analytics, lead the Department’s statutory reporting required by 10 USC §4372 and §4373, share authoritative data with integrated systems, including Advana , and develop, deploy, and maintain acquisition data collection for major programs' statutory reporting and performance measurement of Acquisition Pathways.
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Defense Acquisition Visibility Environment (DAVE)
The Defense Acquisition Visibility Environment (DAVE) delivers access to the Department’s authoritative acquisition data through Non-secure Internet Protocol (NIPR) and Secure Internet Protocol (SIPR) instances. Multiple acquisition data collection and analysis platforms rely on DAVE for authoritative acquisition data, including but not limited to: the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Comptroller Advanced Analytics (ADVANA), OSD Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation (CAPE) Cost Assessment Data Enterprise, Air Force and Army Project Management Reporting Tools, Navy Research, Development and Acquisition Information System, and the Earned Value Management Central Repository. DAVE implements Section 805 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 which reinstated the requirement to report Selected Acquisition Reports (SAR) (Title 10 of the US Code Section 2423), as well as the FY21 and FY22 NDAAs which provided Congressional direction to modernize the SAR process. DAVE is an authoritative source for acquisition data inside the Department of Defense (DoD) and for Congress, the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the Inspectors General (IG) for multiple Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) Acquisition Pathways including all Acquisition Category (ACAT) I – IV programs, Middle Tier of Acquisition programs, as well as National Command, Control, and Communications covered programs.
Data Visibility
The Data Visibility project aligns Acquisition domain data and analytic operations relative to OUSD(A&S) priorities and Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) strategy and guidance, to identify, mature, and publish Acquisition data standards (definitions; metadata) for enterprise-wide transparency and alignment. Data Visibility ensures data collection and analysis capabilities support leadership's priorities; maintains A&S alignment with data management policies, guidance, and standards; ensures the transparent alignment of data to the major defense acquisition use cases; improves data quality through OSD and Services data collection system compliance with the data standards; maintains a single source of truth on data definition, ownership, and appropriate use; and establishes a foundation for insight, decision-making, and reporting on acquisition programs and portfolios.
