Advanced Command and Acquisition Tool

ACAT (Advanced Command and Acquisition Tool) is a centralized program management platform designed for Department of Defense acquisition teams, integrating contract data, schedules, funding visibility, and workflow tracking in one interface. It streamlines coordination across all stakeholders, increases accountability, and improves execution throughout the acquisition lifecycle.

Future growth includes expanding ACAT into a full contract creation and clause selection tool, reducing administrative burden and ensuring compliance from the outset. Additionally, by utilizing Defense Acquisition University (DAU) training modules will embed education directly into the workflow, allowing users to access targeted learning resources while managing real-world contracts. This evolution positions ACAT not just as a management tool, but as a complete acquisition lifecycle solution—supporting everything from requirement development to contract closeout.
