The process is based on statute and regulation. The process involves numerous activities, including design, engineering, construction, testing, deployment, sustainment, and disposal of items purchased from a contractor. This product provides an overview of selected acquisition-related provisions in the House- and Senate-passed versions of a National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (NDAA; H.R. 2670 and S. 2226). For more background on defense acquisitions, see CRS Report RL34026, Defense Acquisitions: How DOD Acquires Weapon Systems and Recent Efforts to Reform the Process. Legislative Proposals Congress may incorporate provisions related to the defense acquisition process or individual acquisition programs in multiple titles in an NDAA. A recurring NDAA title (i.e., Title VIII of Division A) typically addresses acquisition policy, acquisition management, and related matters. In general, Congress uses the NDAA to establish or disestablish, amend, or direct study of elements of and processes related to defense acquisitions. For example, the FY2022 NDAA established a commission to study the effectiveness of the department's Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE)- an internal strategic planning process for allocating resources among the military departments, defense agencies, and other components. The House and Senate-passed versions of an FY2024 NDAA include multiple proposals pertaining to acquisition policy, including those related to capability development, DOD contracting, and mitigating foreign influence over DOD contractors. Table 1 below summarizes selected provisions from H.R. 2670 and S. 2226. Table 1.
