The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) is a U.S. government body focused on developing the civilian federal acquisition workforce. Established in 1976 under the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, it coordinates with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, the Chief Acquisition Officer Council, and the Interagency Acquisition Career Management Council to shape workforce strategies. Its remit includes providing training, conducting research, promoting professionalism, and improving the management of the acquisition workforce. It serves as a conduit among policymakers, workforce managers, and practitioners involved in acquisition workforce development, with a view toward collaboration, integration, and innovation across the acquisition enterprise. Based in Washington, D.C., the institute operates within the government administration sector and aims to foster a high-performing, qualified civilian acquisition workforce. A notable recent development is that, as of May 2026, it is developing mandatory training addressing the formation, negotiation, and management of fixed-price contracts under an order that also requires OFPP and DAU to participate.
