Training developers, vendors with Commercial-Off-The- Shelf (COTS) training products, vendors with capabilities related to the full instructional system design (ISD) methodologies, and acquisition experts. FAI?s mission is to foster and promote the development of a professional acquisition workforce into effective business leaders. Section 1412 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (H.R. 1588) authorized an Acquisition Workforce Training Fund (AWTF) ?to ensure that the Federal acquisition workforce adapts to fundamental changes in the nature of Federal Government acquisition of property and services associated with the changing roles of the Federal Government; and acquires new skills and a new perspective to enable it to contribute effectively in the changing environment of the 21st century.? FAI will use the fund to develop training resources needed to enable federal acquisition professionals to transition to a service oriented and technology driven federal market. FAI coordinates with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), the FAI Board of Directors and the Chief Acquisition Officers (CAO) Council, and DAU to identify training needs and set priorities for use of the fund. OFPP provides guidance on Administration initiatives and new issues in acquisition.
