DATA AND ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK
Acquisition Data and Analytics provides data governance, access, and analytics to enable acquisition insight and decision making in support of achieving better acquisition program outcomes. As a central repository for acquisition data, the Defense Acquisition Visibility Environment (DAVE) supplies authoritative data to help predict program and portfolio performance trends.
