Section 809 Panel - Recommendation #26 - Convert the Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project (AcqDemo) from an Indefinite Demonstration Project to a Permanent Personnel System

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) Civilian Acquisition Workforce Personnel Demonstration Project (AcqDemo) is a congressionally mandated endeavor DoD developed and implemented to attract and retain employees who contribute most to successful organizational mission outcomes. To date, DoD has administered AcqDemo under a temporary authority. The program has been successful for acquisition workforce members covered by the authority. AcqDemo should be made permanent and applied to the entire DoD acquisition workforce.
