Acquisition Management of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System

摘要

This report discusses the acquisition management of the Joint Personnel Adjudication System by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) and the Air Force Security and Communication Management Directorate. This report is one of a series of audit reports addressing personnel security clearance and access issues. The Joint Personnel Adjudication System will provide DoD with a common information resource for granting and sharing personnel security eligibility determinations and recording personnel access to sensitive and non-sensitive compartmented information. Its common database, linked by the Joint Adjudication Management System and the Joint Clearance and Access Verification System applications, will standardize security clearance adjudications and verifications in compliance with DoD Regulation 5200.2-R, 'Personnel Security Program Regulation,ls January 1, 1987'. DoD, Military Departments, and DoD Components funded the Joint Personnel Adjudication System information technology investment. Through the fourth quarter of FY1999, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) provided the Air Force with $8 million for Joint Personnel Adjudication System development and purchases of hardware and software. Since the start of FY 2000, the Military Departments and DoD components financed the Joint Personnel Adjudication System by transferring Operations and Maintenance funds to the Air Force. For FY 2001 through FY 2007, the Air Force estimates that the Joint Personnel Adjudication System costs assessed to the Military Departments and DoD Components will amount to $34 million.
