Currently, DAU classes do not provide detailed information about Services' acquisition practices.

The DAU-PSC partnership, which was coordinated by DAU's Industry Chair, Navy Rear Adm. (Ret) Lenn Vincent, will seek to identify key areas associated with the procurement and management of professional services for inclusion in DAU course offerings and other training opportunities.
