Will you be updating your capabilities to reflect the Business Capability Acquisition Cycle (BCAC), per DODI 5000.75? It is a substantial change from DODI 5000.02 for Defense Business Systems.

Thank you for your content. Added the DODI 5000.75 to this page (was on main Acquisition references page). We do plan to explore a tailored model for the BCAC process and will discuss with AT&L/C3CB and DCMO staff.
