Sinclair Workforce Development Facts

As a Certified Equivalent Provider of Defense Acquisition University (DAU) courses, Sinclair’s DAA courses reflect the training requirements for DAWIA Level I Certifications

DAA provides Acquisition and Contracting training on regulations and best practices to contracting and technical personnel from the DoD and federal agencies

While designed and taught from the DoD perspective, government contractors also find our DAA courses useful in understanding the regulations and the language used in our federal acquisition system

Defense Acquisition Academy

Build additional capacity to train the region’s future acquisitions workers, and to provide displaced workers with skills that will prepare them for re-employment in high value jobs

Provide a global learning environment, in alignment with DAU’s purpose, to support a mission-ready Defense Acquisition Workforce that develops, delivers, and sustains effective and affordable war-fighting capabilities

Offer expert professional training in the fields of Contracts, Acquisition, Logistics, Program Management, Systems Engineering, Science & Technology, and Facilities Engineering

Provide an understanding of how the government does business that would then, in turn, create additional efficiencies that would reduce cost during the acquisition process with the federal government

The Intent of DAA

Most DAA courses are delivered in an online format

Program tracks (sequence of courses) are aligned specifically to the Federal (DAU) version of these courses (where enrollment is typically restricted to active duty military and currently employed civil service personnel)

All DAA classes are certified by the American Council on Education (ACE)

DAA Program Overview

Individuals now may select and enroll in individual DAA courses or entire level 1 program tracks

o Individual, self-paced online courses can be completed in 6 weeks or less

o Program track can be completed in 12 weeks or less

All DAA courses are led by expert instructors

New online sessions begin monthly

Students receive Certification of Completion with passing scores

DAA Course Format

Closely aligned with the hiring criteria of WPAFB, enrollment in DAA is restricted to individuals meeting the following criteria:

Have a Bachelor’s Degree

Be a United States citizen

Be able to pass a background &/or security investigation

CON 170 Fundamentals of Cost & Price Analysis (10 Day, In-Residence)

Begins with an in-depth review of the Market Research process Provides instruction to help students understand and analyze contractor

pricing strategies Teaches how to accomplish Cost-Volume-Profit analysis, calculate

contribution margin estimates, and develop cost estimating relationships in order to accomplish an effective price analysis pursuant to FAR Subpart 15.4

Provides an overview regarding the regulations and processes regarding the use of cost analysis, and for requiring certified cost and pricing data

After learning the basic elements of price and cost analysis, students will build and defend a pre-negotiation objective, including a minimum and maximum pricing objective with a Weighted Guidelines assessment.

After successfully defending their pricing objectives, the students will practice face-to-face negotiations

DAA/ATIC Partnership Offering

According the Air Force Material Command (AFMC), Acq Intel involves the Intelligence Community collaborating with acquisition programs to discover and fulfill intel requirements as early as possible.

Ultimately, Acq Intel means planning for intelligence supportability throughout the entire lifecycle of a program.

What is Acquisition Intelligence?

The increasing use of technology in our weapon systems has forced a transformation in the relationship between intelligence and acquisition

Where intelligence once primarily provided threat studies to inform acquisitions, intelligence is now a fully-integrated partner with engineers, software designers, and communications specialists throughout the acquisition lifecycle

As a result, the U.S. government has identified a pressing need to grow the unique blend of acquisition and ISR skills in the workforce

The Need for Acq Intel Professionals

Rapidly assess program characteristics for ISR needs and recommend effective courses of action (COAs)

Apply intelligence across acquisition lifecycle

Engage in early systems engineering and analysis activities

Synchronize Intelligence Community production with program needs and timelines

Identify technology or capability driven issues that will impact operational employment

Reduce cost, schedule and performance risk

Roles of the Acq Intel Professionals

Focus on current issues, data and sensors

Intelligence-specific aspects of defense acquisitions

Taught by experts in industry, government and academia

Professional development and enhanced marketability in your career path

Sponsorship for Secret level U.S. security clearance

Benefits of the ISR Track

Students not already holding a government security clearance will be submitted for a Secret security clearance through the U.S. government  

Security clearances can only be granted by the government sponsoring agency

No guarantee that an individual will be approved

ATIC staff will provide guidance on process, but the individual is responsible for all necessary paperwork completion and meeting submission deadlines
