DAU Contracting Certification (DoD Contracting Professional Certification)
The "DAU Contract Certification" refers to the DoD Contracting Professional Certification managed by the Defense Acquisition University (DAU), which is part of the Back-to-Basics initiative for the defense acquisition workforce. The certification consists of three components: training, testing, and continuous learning . The training comprises four required courses—CON 1100 (Foundational Skills), CON 1200V (Contract Pre-award), CON 1300V (Contract Award), and CON 1400 (Contract Post-Award)—followed by an optional exam prep course (CON 3900V) and the culminating Contracting Certification Exam (CON 3990V) . Eligibility for the exam requires being coded as an acquisition career field member in a qualifying series (such as GS-1102) and obtaining authorization through the agency's training application system . The exam is closed-book and tests competencies derived from the FAR and DFARS, covering domains such as guiding principles, pre-award, award, and post-award, with questions distributed across specific competencies like contract principles, solicitation development, cost/price analysis, and contract administration . DAU itself does not issue the certification; the DoD component or agency awards it after all requirements are validated .
