West
Defense
Acquisition Portal (DAP)
The Defense Acquisition University has
deployed the initial version of the Defense
Acquisition Portal
(DAP). It can be seen
and used at
https://dap.dau.mil. The DAP will
enhance the breadth and
scope of the
acquisition process beyond the AKSS
(Acquisition, Technology, & Logistics
Knowledge Sharing System) which is
replaced by the DAP. The DAP includes all
of the elements
and forces affecting the Big
Acquisition Process, including Human Capital
Initiatives. Replacing the
AKSS, all of
the content in the AKSS has been transferred to
the DAP, with the majority of it located
under
the Acquisition tab. There is a new tab
dedicated to the Acquisition Workforce,
providing
information on
career management, the
Human Capital Initiative and the 4th
Estate. This information
includes
services on career planning, leadership
training, overarching guidance documents and
links
to information on
professional organizations. There
is also a major new feature in DAP called
"Acquisition Career Gateways" where each of the
fourteen identified acquisition
career fields has its
own area providing: a
career certification guide; formal course
enrollment procedures; continuous
learning and
job specific courses; Ask-A-Professor Q&As;
Performance Support/Consulting
services
available through
DAU; and highlighted career field information
through blogs by career
field experts.
The Search feature has been completely
reengineered to make it much easier to
find the
specific kind of learning or job support asset
needed.
Comments and suggestions on the
content and
format of the DAP, or on additional information
that you would like to see in the DAP
can be
made by selecting the "Submit Feedback" button.
