LEVEL B: Drafting of requirements and requirements documents; Fulfill specific capacities to include: guiding study elements, evaluating feedback, facilitating the development and coordination of documents between organizations. The CCF-C contains three (3) levels of certification that provide the necessary education, training and experience for contract professionals. The CCF-C is recognized by all federal civilian organizations as evidence that an employee meets the essential requirements to perform contractual duties. While the training requirements for CAF-C are closely aligned with the DAWIA training requirements, they are not identical. A current and valid Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certification is considered equivalent to an FAC-C certification at the same level of certification, but a CAF-C does not necessarily meet the requirements of DAWIA. Reciprocity is determined individually by the Ministry of Defence. 1Experience requirements are generally based on the Contract Specialist Qualification Standard (GS-1102). Experience can be time spent in the workplace as part of a private or public sector assignment, reflecting the accumulation of knowledge, skills and abilities over the years of work orders at increasingly senior levels of responsibility. There are no exceptions to the experience requirement and candidates must prove their experience to their certifying officer. Experiments can be tracked using the 1102 experience development tool. Meeting the experiential requirements of a certification level can be applied to meeting the experiential requirements of a higher level of certification. LEVEL D: Validation and approval of JCIDS documents; Provide senior management and oversee the analysis and staffing of JCIDS; Application of capacity requirements and accountability. TRAINING: DAU provides the basic training required for each RMCT level and the Core Plus training for the specific requirements listed in the table below.

The success of the program depends on the integration of the three components of “Big A Acquisition”. This course will assist you in your senior supervisory role in defining requirements for future warfare capabilities. While we are all committed to providing the best possible solutions for war fighters, there is often a gap in experience and expectations between war combatants on the one hand and supply and resource communities on the other. This can lead to misinterpretation of requirements and result in systems not meeting the level required by the soldier, being too expensive or not being delivered on demand. The diagram shows the main problems commonly associated with the three processes.
Recent changes to the JCIDS process, USD (AT&L) best practices and upcoming revisions to the DoDI, Operation of the Defense Acquisition System, should better synchronize JCIDS, Defense Acquisition, and PPBE to address some of the key issues. Lack of JROC validated requirements documents for the core program (CIM, SDC, CPD) Insufficient requirements for the core program and “drift” from additional requirements Critical reliance on external programs with development issues Interdepartmental stakeholder coordination and support Synchronize JCIDS, DAS, and PPBE to bring functionality to Warfighter Agency Unique certification requirements: Federal agencies may have special certification requirements in addition to Federal Acquisition Certification (FCC) requirements. Civilian procurement staff are encouraged to consult the policies of their organization`s procurement employees, the organization`s internal websites and/or their Procurement Career Manager for more information. Members of the Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD) personnel authorized to generate capability requirements for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) are not permitted to participate in the requirements creation process unless the member or employee successfully completes a certification training program. This congressional mandate requires us to: Develop a competency-based requirements training program Set a deadline of 30. September 2008, which states that “a member of the Armed Forces or an employee of the Department of Defence authorized to generate requirements for a major defence procurement program may no longer participate in the requirements generation process unless the member or employee successfully completes the certification training program developed in this section.” This was an effort led by USD AT&L (Under Secretary of Defense for Purchasing, Technology and Logistics), DAU (Defense Acquisition University) and involving all departments and components of the department. We fulfill this congressional training mandate through a series of continuing education courses.
