The Board is not established to advise 

on individual DoD procurements, but

pressing and complex technology 

problems facing the Department of 

Defense in such areas as research, 

engineering, and manufacturing, and 

will ensure the identification of new 

technologies and new applications of 

technology in those areas to strengthen 

national security. 

No matter shall be assigned to the 

Board for its consideration that would 

require any Board Member to participate 

personally and substantially in the

place him or her in the position of 

acting as a contracting or procurement 

official. 

The Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
