The Defense Acquisition Guidebook, Chapter 10, Acquisition of Services, is available via the internet at https://www.dau.mil/tools/dag. Chapter 10 provides acquisition teams with a step-by-step guide explaining the process of acquiring services.

The Acquisition Requirements Roadmap Tool (ARRT) is a tool that enables requiring activities to develop and organize performance requirements into draft versions of the performance work statement, the quality assurance surveillance plan, and the performance requirements summary. ARRT provides a standard template for these documents and some default text that can be modified to reflect a particular requirement. This tool should be used to prepare these documents for all performance- based acquisitions for services. ARRT is available for download at https://www.dau.edu/tools/Documents/SAM/resources/ARRT_Home.html.

See PGI 210.070 for guidance on use of the market research report guide to conduct and document market research for service acquisitions.
