See DAB and satellite radio. ) Directorate launched the first phase of Procedures, Guidance and Information (PGI PGI Protected Geographical Indication PGI Progiciel de Gestion Intégré (French: Enterprise Resource Planning) PGI Phosphoglucose Isomerase PGI Polish Geological Institute (Warsaw, Poland) ), enabling the Department of Defense to more rapidly communicate internal administrative and procedural information to the acquisition workforce. As an online resource, PGI serves as a companion to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS DFARS Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement DFARS DoD Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement ) to help acquisition professionals more effectively and efficiently do their jobs. Further, PGI will rapidly assist the acquisition community by providing DoD internal procedures and other information not requiring implementation in the formal regulation.

"However, it has really evolved into a solution for rapidly communicating DoD policy and guidance." Historically, DFARS contained both mandatory and non-mandatory acquisition procedures, guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. , and best practices. DoD recently decided the DFARS should focus only on: * requirements of law * DoD-wide policies * delegations of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) authorities * deviations from FAR requirements and policies * procedures having a significant effect beyond the internal operation of DoD * procedures having a significant impact on the public. PGI Released in Two Phases PGI will be fully implemented in two phases. The first phase primarily encompasses the non-regulatory coverage removed from the DFARS. In the future, DARS plans to rewrite re·write v. re·wrote , re·writ·ten , re·writ·ing, re·writes v.tr. 1. To write again, especially in a different or improved form; revise. 2. PGI in non-regulatory language and to create additional content on specific topics of interest to users. The second phase adds: * training resources * supplemental background * reference information to the Web site.
