Which system is used to create the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB)?

• A. Defense Acquisition Management Information Retrieval (DAMIR)
• B. Program Data Repository (PDR)
• C. Acquisition Planning Tool (APT)
• D. Integrated Baseline System (IBS)

Answer: (A)

The Acquisition Program Baseline is created and stored in DAMIR, the Defense Acquisition Management Information Retrieval system. DAMIR is the authoritative DoD system for managing program information, including the baselines that define approved cost, schedule, and performance. Having the APB in DAMIR provides a single source of truth for program status, changes, and reporting to stakeholders. The other systems serve different roles—Program Data Repository is a data store for program data, Acquisition Planning Tool is used for planning activities, and Integrated Baseline System handles baseline management in EVM contexts but is not the primary creator of the APB.
