DAWIA

DAWIA, the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act, sets standards and training requirements for professionals involved in U.S. defense procurement. It ensures that individuals managing, developing, or overseeing defense acquisitions—such as equipment, systems, or services—possess the necessary expertise and adhere to best practices. The program promotes certification, ongoing education, and career development to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in acquiring defense capabilities, ultimately supporting national security objectives.
