Acquisition and contract paths.

Decision framework

What this pathway must make clear.

Acquisition and contract paths.

Defined requirement

Start with the buyer, mission outcome, workload, environment, schedule, acceptance criteria, and available authority.

Market and acquisition path

Separate market research, evaluation, pilot, subcontract, commercial agreement, and government procurement decisions.

Price and responsibility

Make capacity, platform, site, network, energy, support, assurance, data, and operator responsibilities visible.

Evidence and approvals

Do not treat a proposal, research relationship, eligibility statement, or contract vehicle as a purchase or authorization.
