Acquisition, Technology, & Facilities

Organization

CONTENT TO COME

The Acquisition, Procurement & Facilities organization leads the Intelligence Community’s efforts to enhance the returns on investments in technology and facilities. Our mission is to deliver innovative, technology-based capabilities that solve intelligence challenges today and in the future. AP&F takes a portfolio approach to acquire capabilities now, to coordinate those that will come next, and to sponsor research that will lead to new capabilities after next.

In particular AP&F’s activities:

  • Provide continuous oversight of selected NIP acquisitions and independently assess the status of IC acquisitions and associated IC acquisition processes.
  • Enable a Community-wide perspective to be incorporated throughout the acquisition cycle and effectively integrate IC acquisition and procurement initiatives to respond to the highest priority needs and missions.
  • Champion S&T strategies and policies, inform future IC R&D investments that deliver mission superiority, and seek out the intersections between IC mission needs and the capabilities offered by emerging S&T.
  • Coordinate IC facilities activities to address and resolve priority and strategic facility issues, and to optimize investment decisions.
  • Invest across four scientific thrust areas: Anticipatory Intelligence, Analysis, Collections and Operations.

The Assistant Director of National Intelligence for Acquisition, Procurement & Facilities leads the AP&F organization, which includes senior leaders and subject matter experts drawn from across the Intelligence Community with years of experience and expertise in the fields of Program Management, Systems Engineering, Research, Procurement, and Facilities Management.
