Description
Services Acquisition Workshop. A Services Acquisition Workshop (SAW) is a DAU facilitated workshop built around a specific acquisition and its multi-functional team (MFT). The workshop walks the MFT through the service acquisition process from beginning to end as found in DoDI 5000.74, Defense Acquisition of Services, and detailed in the Services Pathway of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework. For complex, large dollar value, or high interest acquisitions the SAW typically is a multi-phase consulting engagement conducted over the course of the sourcing activities. The duration of less complex SAWs generally takes four days to complete. In order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness, the initial SAW should be scheduled as early in the acquisition process as possible, before requirements and the acquisition strategy have been finalized. The SAW facilitation team mentors and guides the MFT in developing portions of key acquisition documents (e.g., team charter, project plan, stakeholder analysis, communications plan, market research report, acquisition plan, acquisition strategy, Performance Work Statement (PWS), and Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)).
