abbreviated acquisition program correct answers Abbreviated Acquisition Program (Navy
and Marine Corps only) ACAT programs in the Navy and Marine Corps not otherwise
designated as ACAT III or ACAT IV and which do not require Operational Test and
Evaluation (OT&E).

ACAT I correct answers ACAT I programs are Major Defense Acquisition Programs
(MDAPs). A MDAP is a program that is not a highly sensitive classified program and that is
designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD(A&S))
as a MDAP, or that is estimated to require eventual expenditure for research, development,
test, and evaluation (RDT&E), including all planned increments, of more than $480 million
(Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 constant dollars) or procurement, including all planned increments, of
more than $2.79 billion (FY 2014 constant dollars). ACAT I programs have three sub-
categories: ACAT ID ACAT IC ACAT IB If the USD(A&S) has designated an alternate
MDA for a program, the Secretary of the Military Department, or designee, may request
reversion of responsibility back to the SAE. If the MDA reverts back to the SAE, either at the
request of the Military Department or at the DAE's discretion, the program would revert from
its ACAT ID designation to an ACAT IB designation.

ACAT IA correct answers ACAT IA programs are Major Automated Information Systems
(MAIS), an automated information system program is designated by the MDA as a MAIS, or
estimated to exceed: 1) $40 million (FY 2014 constant dollars(CD)), for all increments,
regardless of appropriation or fund source, directly related to AIS definition, design,
development, and deployment incurred in any single FY, or 2) $165 million (FY 2014 CD),
for all expenditures, for all increments, ¬regardless of appropriation or fund source, directly
related to AIS definition, design, development, and deployment, and incurred from the
beginning of the Materiel Solution Analysis (MSA) Phase through deployment at all sites, or
3) $520 million (FY 2014 CD) for all expenditures, for all increments, regardless of
appropriation or fund source, directly related to AIS definition, design, development,
deployment, operation and maintenance, and incurred from the beginning of the MSA phase
through sustainment for the estimated system useful life.

ACAT IAC correct answers ACAT IAC which the USD(A&S has delegated to the head of
the DoD component or, if delegated, the CAE. The "C" (in ACAT IAC) refers to component.

, ACAT IAM correct answers ACAT IAM for which the MDA is the USD(AT&L). The
USD(AT&L) may delegate MDA authority to the DoD CIO, or other designee. The "M" (in
ACAT IAM) refers to MAIS.

ACAT IC correct answers ACAT IC for which the USD(A&S) delegated ACAT I milestone
decision authority to the Service Acquisition Executive (SAE). This designation (ACAT 1C)
is only for programs that reached Milestone A BEFORE October 1, 2016.

ACAT ID correct answers ACAT ID for which the USD(A&S makes a decision to become
the MDA or designate another OSD official as the MDA. This decision would be based on
one or more exceptions in 10 USC 2430(d).

ACAT II correct answers ACAT II programs are defined as those acquisition programs that
do not meet the criteria for an ACAT I program, but do meet the criteria for a major system.
A major system is defined as a program estimated by the DoD component head to require
eventual expenditure for RDT&E of more than $185 million in FY 2014 constant dollars, or
for procurement of more than $835 million in FY 2014 constant dollars or those designated
by the DoD component head to be ACAT II. The MDA is the DoD CAE.

ACAT III correct answers ACAT III programs are defined as those acquisition programs that
do not meet the criteria for ACAT II. The MDA is designated by the CAE. This category
includes less-than-major AISs.

ACAT IV correct answers ACAT IV (Army, Navy and Marine Corps only) ACAT programs
not otherwise designated as ACAT III are designated ACAT IV in accordance with Service
policy. Decisions are made at the lowest appropriate level. There are two categories of ACAT
IV programs in the Navy and Marine Corps: IVT (Test) and IVM (Monitor). ACAT IVT
programs require Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) while ACAT IVM programs do
not.

acceptance correct answers The act of an authorized representative of the government by
which the government, for itself or as agent of another, assumes ownership of existing
identified supplies tendered, or approves specific services rendered, as partial or complete
