Unified Acquisition Lifecycle Management

For decades, acquisition professionals have been forced to navigate a maze of fragmented tools—one for requisitioning, another for contract awards, still another for modifications, performance tracking, financial oversight, and finally, closeout. Each handoff between systems creates delays, risks data loss, and makes it harder to preserve continuity as projects, teams, and priorities evolve.

OAS (Open Acquisition System) eliminates these barriers by serving as the single system of record for the entire lifecycle. Every phase—from requisition to award, from modification to oversight, from financial reconciliation to final closeout—lives inside one platform designed for speed, accuracy, and accountability.

Key Functions of OAS 

• Requisition to Award

  OAS integrates requirements generation, funding validation, and solicitation management into a seamless pipeline. This ensures requisitions flow directly into contract actions without duplicate entry or lost documentation.

  
  

• Contract Management & Modifications

  Real-time clause management, automated version control, and dynamic contract templates give contracting officers the tools they need to adapt quickly while maintaining compliance with FAR/DFARS.

  
  

• Performance Oversight & Financial Tracking

  With OAS, agencies gain full transparency into CLINs/SLINs, funding allocations, burn rates, and vendor performance. Predictive analytics highlight risks early, empowering proactive intervention.

  
  

• Closeout & Audit Readiness

  OAS simplifies what has historically been one of the most time-consuming phases. Every action across the contract lifecycle is logged, creating a complete, defensible record that accelerates closeouts and strengthens audit readiness.

  
  

Why It Matters

By unifying acquisition into one continuous system, OAS delivers:

• Continuity across phases – No more silos or fractured workflows.

• Institutional knowledge retention – Even as teams rotate, OAS preserves the full acquisition history.

• Efficiency at scale – Faster awards, fewer errors, and reduced administrative overhead.

• Confidence in oversight – Leaders and auditors see the same transparent data, eliminating blind spots.

  
  

OAS does more than streamline tasks—it transforms acquisition into a connected, resilient, and mission-focused process. It ensures that every requirement, dollar, and deliverable is visible and traceable, empowering the Navy and other federal agencies to meet operational needs with speed and precision.
