The case development portion of DSAMS is fully operational and is now being used by the military departments and other implementing agencies to create the vast majority of Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs). We have been receiving requests for information on how classified FMS cases should be handled in this system. DSAMS is an unclassified system. No classified information may be entered into this system even on a temporary basis. The following guidance is provided for your use in preparing these cases in an unclassified mode.

This order prescribes a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding, and declassifying national security information, including information relating to defense against transnational terrorism. Our democratic principles require that the American people be informed of the activities of their Government. Also, our Nations progress depends on the free flow of information. Nevertheless, throughout our history, the national defense has required that certain information be maintained in confidence in order to protect our citizens, our democratic institutions, our homeland security, and our interactions with foreign nations. Protecting information critical to our Nations security remains a priority.

In May 2006, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology commissioned a Defense Science Board Task Force on DoD Energy Strategy. The Terms of Reference asked the Task Force to investigate four broad areas:
1. Opportunities to reduce fuel demand by deployed forces; assessing the effects on cost, operational and force structure.
2. Opportunities to deploy renewable and alternative energy sources for facilities and deployed forces.
3. Institutional barriers to making the transitions recommended by the Task Force.
4. Potential national benefits of DoD deployment of new energy technologies.
To address these issues, 77 Task Force members and government advisors divided into four panels to examine policy issues, combat platforms, facilities and infrastructure, and research and technology.

Interent Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Interim Transition Guidance

The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) last year issued the “Myth-Busting” memorandum on “Addressing Misconceptions to Improve Communication with Industry during the Acquisition Process.” In the subsequent months, Federal agencies have taken significant additional steps to improve communications between Federal agencies and the vendor community. These developments are discussed further below.

To continue to make progress in improving these communications, OFPP is issuing this second “Myth-Busting” memorandum. Whereas we focused last year on the misconceptions on the part of Federal agencies, we want to continue the discussion by addressing in this memorandum the misconceptions that may be held by some in the vendor community. As we did last year, we highlight the misconceptions in the Attachment and, for each one, provide the facts about the Federal procurement process, with the goal of improving the productivity of our communications. The Attachment also provides additional information and strategies for both agencies and vendors to promote more effective communication.

We encourage you to share this information with current and potential industry partners – especially those new to government contracting – as part of your outreach efforts to ensure that we are collectively making the best use of our engagement opportunities.

For those programs where the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) is the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA), OIPTs are a wellestablished and integral part of our defense acquisition oversight and milestone decision review process. While OIPTs are not decision-making bodies, they provide a mechanism to coordinate and conduct staff preparation for DAE program decisions and to help execute those decisions. This memorandum is intended to clarify the expectations for OSD OIPT Leaders and the respective OIPTs that they lead.

Frank Kendall, Acting Undersecretary of Defense (AT&L), discusses his priorities in relation to the recently released defense strategy. At a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Kendall said his highest priority program is the government workforce and having a more capable and qualified acquisition community.

Kendall said, “If we’re going to be successful, we’re going to have to change. We have to change how we think about the money, how we value it, how we spend it and how we do our business. The change has to be real. It can’t be superficial...we’ve got to change what we actually do. It takes a lot of work. It takes tenacity.”
