Established in 1976 under the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) has been charged with fostering and promoting the development of a federal acquisition workforce. FAI facilitates and promotes career development and strategic human capital management for the acquisition workforce. FAI coordinates with organizations such as the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, Chief Acquisition Officer Council, and the Interagency Acquisition Career Management Council to develop and implement strategies to meet the needs of the current and future acquisition workforce. In conjunction with its partners, FAI seeks to ensure availability of exceptional training, provide compelling research, promote professionalism, and improve acquisition workforce management. FAI's mission is to foster a high-performing, qualified civilian acquisition workforce. The FAI team plays a critical, unique role in developing and maturing acquisition workforce readiness. We are the conduit between acquisition policymakers, workforce managers, and other professionals involved in acquisition workforce development. Leveraging our strategic position and government-wide mission, we will continue to promote collaboration, integration, and innovation across the acquisition enterprise, ensuring investments in the acquisition workforce lead to more effective and efficient government.
