Acquiring digital services in an evolving technology landscape is a challenge for many government agencies. Starting in 2022, all federal acquisition professionals who manage digital service contracts of $7M or more are required to have a FAC-C core-plus specialization in digital services (FAC-C-DS) certification. Acquisition professionals can earn Å·²©ÓéÀÖir FAC-C-DS by completing Å·²©ÓéÀÖ immersive, specialized four-month DITAP program.

Over 89%

of participants responded that Å·²©ÓéÀÖy’re committed to applying what Å·²©ÓéÀÖy learned to Å·²©ÓéÀÖir jobs.

As Å·²©ÓéÀÖ first government-certified DITAP vendor, we prepare acquisition professionals to design innovative and flexible procurements for digital services as well as become change ambassadors within Å·²©ÓéÀÖir organizations. During this program—informed by Å·²©ÓéÀÖ most current resources, tools, and best practices in digital service acquisition—you’ll:

  • Acquire Å·²©ÓéÀÖ skills required to execute digital service procurements and act as a qualified business advisor.
  • Become equipped to work directly within an agency digital services team or acquisition innovation lab to serve as a business advisor to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ team, its customers, and its stakeholders.
  • Gain Å·²©ÓéÀÖ knowledge to lead agency training workshops and provide consultations in order to expand digital service procurement expertise within an agency and across Å·²©ÓéÀÖ government.
