Get Outstanding Results
Performance-based acquisition (PBA) is a strategic approach focused on buying results, through more efficient and cost-effective competition, communication, and collaboration between government and industry partners.

Create the "Art of the Possible"
PBA encourages industry partners to propose innovative solutions to deliver mission and program results. Focusing on outcomes, rather than mere compliance with detailed specifications, leverages the creative energy and experience of industry experts to solve the problem. The resultant pool of varied solutions proposed significantly enhances the opportunity to achieve program success.

Achieve the Mission
Achieving mission, program, project, and contract requirements to meet the end users' needs is what PBA is all about. When all stakeholders share a singular focus on results, the mission becomes paramount and all contribute to success. Getting end users what they need, when they need it, with quality ensured — that is leveraging acquisition for better business results.

Enhance Teamwork
Successful acquisitions are conducted by teams of people, working cooperatively toward a common goal. High-performing organizations in both government and industry have used a team-based approach to overcome organizational barriers. They have adopted the use of integrated project teams focused toward one goal: mission accomplishment.

Save Time & Money
Performance-based acquisition can save both time and money when well-trained acquisition professionals execute large, complex projects. The collaboration between stakeholders promotes communications that reduce or eliminate time-consuming missteps and misunderstandings. A common vision helps maintain a laser focus on the objectives rather than on peripheral issues that can divert limited resources from accomplishing the business objective.
