Mission

The Data Analytics division of ADA serves as the functional lead for establishing an Analytic Framework to support "Data Driven Decisions" within ASD(A). The division gathers strategic questions from the organization, integrates acquisition data from disparate DoD and Federal data stores, and conducts appropriate analytics to answer those questions. This informs acquisition strategic decision making and policy changes in OUSD (A&S) and the DoD at large, at the speed of relevance, improving acquisition outcomes. The Data Analytics Division also conducts analyses to help the Department inform the public and other parts of the U.S. Government, including the Legislative Branch, on the performance of the defense acquisition system.

Capabilities

Data Analytics provides cross cutting analyses of DoD acquisition by commodity type, contract, contractor, contractor incentive, portfolio, and individual program using data mining principles, analytic tools, data scientists, and functional subject matter experts.
