Join Dcode on Thursday, June 25 from 2–3pm ET for a tactical session with Danielle Moyer, Executive Director, Army Contracting Command – Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), focused on how the Army’s contracting enterprise is adapting to acquisition reform, the transition to Portfolio Acquisition Executives (PAEs), and the ongoing modernization of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Ms. Moyer leads one of the Army’s largest contracting organizations, overseeing more than 1,000 contracting professionals executing approximately $15 billion in annual contract actions in support of Army and Department of Defense missions.

As the Army continues implementing portfolio-based acquisition models and the Department pursues broader acquisition reform efforts, contracting organizations are being asked to enable greater speed, flexibility, and mission focus while maintaining the discipline and accountability required of federal procurement. At the same time, the FAR 2.0 initiative represents one of the most significant efforts in decades to simplify and modernize the acquisition framework that governs how government and industry do business together.

In this session, Ms. Moyer will cover:

Contracting in the PAE Era – How the transition from program-centric management to portfolio-based acquisition may affect contracting strategy, decision-making, and execution.

The Future of Army Acquisition – What acquisition reform means from the perspective of the contracting workforce and the organizations responsible for turning requirements into executable procurements.

Understanding FAR 2.0 – An overview of the goals behind the FAR modernization effort and what changes may matter most to government teams and industry partners.

Speed, Flexibility, and Mission Outcomes – How contracting organizations are balancing the need for faster capability delivery with competition, compliance, and stewardship responsibilities.

Working with the Army – Practical insights for startups, nontraditional companies, and established contractors seeking to engage more effectively with Army customers and contracting organizations.

This Dcode Nexus event is designed for government acquisition professionals, startups, growth-stage companies, and industry partners interested in understanding how acquisition reform is shaping the future of Army contracting. Attendees will gain a clearer picture of the changes underway across the Army acquisition enterprise, what they may mean for industry engagement, and how contracting organizations are adapting to support faster delivery of capability to the warfighter.
