Advanced Information Systems Acquisition
Students in this course develop high level skills in Information Systems (IS) acquisition management
through an integrated program of readings, seminars, case studies, and a simulated IS acquisition that
includes extensive hands-on use of current automated tools. Areas of study include analysis and planning,
the IS procurement process, oversight, and the unique characteristics of information technology. As a part
of mastering the competencies of this career field, students develop the teamwork and critical thinking
skills needed in today's acquisition workforce.
Prerequisites: IRM 201.
Length: 20 Class Days

Acquisition Logistics Fundamentals
Acquisition Logistics Fundamentals gives students the opportunity to integrate logistics support policy,
support performance requirements and practices applicable to acquisition programs during the various
Defense system life cycles. The course provides a broad overview of the role of acquisition logistics in
the life cycle process, the system engineering process, and the role of Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)
plans and products play in these two processes. Presentations cover ILS related subjects such as life cycle
processes, logistics relevant test and evaluation, and technical information management. Guest lecturers
will discuss real world examples of developing and executing support for DoD programs and policies.
Prerequisites: ACQ 101.
Length: 15 Class Days

Intermediate Acquisition Logistics
The Intermediate Acquisition Logistics course is designed for acquisition logistics managers and their
supervisors. The course provides a hands-on approach for building acquisition logistics skills with
minimal lectures. The major emphasis is on practical exercises and case study. Major areas of study
include: emerging acquisition logistics concepts, policies, constraints, and other considerations; integrated
product and process development; logistics interface with systems engineering; market investigations;
supportability analysis; logistics test and evaluation; maintenance planning and other supportability
element requirements; configuration management interface; life cycle costing; overall program
supportability planning; and contracting for acquisition logistics. Students gain skills by using applicable
automed job performance aids. They develop theoretical and pragmatic solutions to individual and group
exercises/case studies. Students develop and present acquisition logistics briefings, and do research work
on current acquisition logistics topics. Students receive a pass or fail grade based on these efforts as well
as individual knowledge assessments. The overall goal of the course is to ensure the students have course
learning objectives and can function as Level-2 acquisition logisticians in the Department of Defense.
