Acquisition Management Support

A Proven “Big A” Methodology
Gives Customers Confidence

We understand the multiple pressures our DoD and DHS clients face in meeting their mission through the acquisition of large scale systems. We listen to and hear the complex challenges they must overcome throughout the acquisition life cycle, from cradle to grave.

Integrity’s Major Systems or “Big A” Acquisition Life Cycle Management Service Offering responds to those challenges by fielding a multi-disciplinary team that applies a proprietary and innovative seven-step methodology. The deliverables are high quality products that contribute to sound acquisition program planning and execution. Customers feel Integrity is a trusted partner and advisor who can help obtain and manage acquisition programs efficiently, effectively, economically, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Our systematic process gives customers confidence and a proven path to success. The result: clear, measurable outcomes, such as successful milestone decisions, that help achieve the mission and have a positive impact on citizens’ lives.

Scalable and Flexible

Our service offering is scalable from ongoing major acquisition programs to discrete, non-major projects. We tailor our service offering based on factors such as scope, size, and domain. For example, if we are supporting a major DHS acquisition program that implements DHS Acquisition Directive (AD) 102 requirements, we deliver the best balance of Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA)/DHS certified program management talent who are fluent in DHS AD 102 major systems acquisition best practices and tools.

Broad and Deep Expertise

Integrity’s talent spans the spectrum of “Big A” acquisition life cycle management disciplines, ranging from the more general requirements management and acquisition strategy, to the more specific, such as integrated logistics and test and evaluation. Appropriate to customer needs and goals, we pull a team from former DAU acquisition professors, experienced DoD/DHS Acquisition Program Managers, and other rising stars who are vetted performers with “can do” attitudes.
