The Single Appropriation Pilot for Software and Digital Technology, Budget Activity 8 (BA 8), builds upon DoD initiatives to align acquisition processes to national security imperatives and the evolving technological and adversarial environment.  The creators of BA 8 sought to explore ways to learn more about the how the appropriations-focused recommendations from the May 2019 Defense Innovation Board Software Acquisitions and Practices study: Software is Never Done  might be implemented.  BA 8 within the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation functions as a single appropriation to consolidate a software program’s funds from their Procurement, RDT&E, and Operations & Maintenance funding lines, with statutory language that permits use of BA-8 for the associated purposes.
