About the DPAA contract

DPAA was formally commissioned on 30 January 2015, with the consolidation of the former Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), the former Department of Defense (DoD) Prisoner of War and Missing Personnel Office (DPMO), the former JPAC CONUS Annex (JCA), and the former Air Force Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory (LSEL), to form a new DoD agency that reports directly to Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy. DPAA is implementing several key initiatives to transform the agency into a single, accountable organization with oversight of all past conflict personnel accounting resources, research, and operations across the DOD. These transformative initiatives include:

• Improving mission performance by driving technology and workforce innovation.
• Aligning the organization for optimal responsiveness and agility.
• Achieving increased results by leveraging continuous process improvement to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization’s business processes.
• Exploiting the benefits of improved collaboration and coordination to better integrate and synchronize operations.
• Leveraging new strategic partnerships (e.g., governmental agencies, universities, non-governmental organizations, volunteers, and corporations) whose resources and expertise can serve as force multipliers to increase capabilities and capacity and accelerate results.
• Enriching engagements with the families of missing service members and other stakeholders through robust outreach and communications, improved information access and quality, and enhanced responsiveness.
• Demanding accountability for achieving outcomes.

Implementing these initiatives will enable DPAA to perform its mission of research, discovery, recovery, and identification of missing service members in the most operationally effective and cost-efficient manner.
