Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer Terry Halvorsen has requested that the Navy and Marine Corps designate an Information Technology Expenditure Approval Authority (ITEAA) by this Monday.
The ITEAAs will ensure that all IT projects undertaken by the Navy and Marine Corps are integral parts of rationalized service portfolios, aligned with DON IT goals and conform to the DON and Department of Defense enterprise architectures. The ITEAAs must approve any IT software, hardware or service with a projected lifecycle cost or purchase price totaling $1 million or more, according to the department.
