Description:
In November 2025, the Department of War (DOW) released a game-changing memo: “Transforming the Warfighting Acquisition System to Accelerate Fielding of Capabilities.” This bold blueprint reimagines how defense capabilities are delivered—placing speed, agility, and results at the forefront. But with rapid transformation comes turbulence. While the newly branded Warfighting Acquisition System promises contract opportunities, it also introduces uncertainty.
Don’t miss PilieroMazza’s Lauren Brier as she addresses why defense contractors should stay informed and how understanding the DOW’s plans to fast-track contract delivery will be key to thriving in this evolving landscape.
Learning objectives include:
- understanding the incentives and penalties that may come with new DOW contracts;
- what new role contracting officers will play in obtaining DOW contracts and the potential implications for contractors; and
- the importance of knowing non-FAR-based instruments.
