We’re here to help Government and Industry acquisition professionals understand more about how the other side thinks. What is an Acquisition Plan? The Government team is required to document their plan for acquiring goods and services. The plan can be simple for small, low dollar acquisitions but can grow to a massive document requiring high-level approvals for major system buys.
