Transitioning from the Urgent Capability Acquisition Pathway to another Pathway Program of Record : Department of Defense , August 23 , 2023
From the document: “There may be times when a system developed in the Urgent Capability Acquisition (UCA) Pathway is successful and the appropriate authorities decide to equip general forces with the system beyond a specific contingency operation. In this case, the appropriate Component Head and Component Acquisition Executive may transition the system to another Pathway. Regardless of which Pathway a UCA system or part of a system transitions to, the following information applies.
RMF teams and program management offices (PMOs) will need to review any RMF tailoring done for the system developed in the UCA Pathway to determine if this tailoring is still appropriate in the new Pathway. Likewise, any residual risks from noncompliant controls or unresolved deficiencies need to be resolved or appropriately mitigated. As such, RMF and PMO teams may reuse existing artifacts and hone their risk management and system development focus to previously mitigated high and critical findings and unresolved deficiencies from the UCA Pathway.”
