Welcome to the Air Force Acquisition Process Model Web Portal
Serving as the central knowledge warehouse, the Air Force Acquisition Process Model (APM) provides the documented current state process in an integrated fashion.
The APM is a compilation of policy, instructions, and guidance that acts as the Gold Standard for persons involved in the Acquisition Process
The APM accomplishes the following goals:
- Establishes standard definition and activities associated with AF Acquisition
- Provides an integration context for other external/related process models (eLog21, ACS, etc.)
- Provides the process input to Acquisition Enterprise Architecture and other Enterprise Architectures.
- Provides a Standard Reference Model for all stakeholders
- Provides a common context for process improvement initiatives
Beginning in 2009, the Air Force Acquisition Chief Process Office (ACPO) commissioned the DSD Laboratories' Center for Reengineering and Enabling Technology (CRET) to develop the APM.
