The DoD Acquisition Business Functional Area is comprised of two distinct career tracks: Business Financial Management (BUS-FM) and Business Cost Estimating (BUS-CE). Cost Estimating is the process of forecasting the financial and other resources needed in the acquisition of an end item within defined parameters. It accounts for each element required in the acquisition life cycle of the end item.
