Immersive Commercial Acquisition Program (ICAP) Fellowship

The Department of War Innovation Unit, in partnership with Warfighting Acquisition University, is seeking highly qualified and motivated mid-to-senior level contracting and agreements officers with proven technical contracting expertise coupled with an innovative mindset for the next Immersive Commercial Acquisition Program (ICAP) cohort. Applicants must be a permanent government civilian (GS-13/14 or NH-03/04 1102 series) or active component military contracting or agreements officer (O-4/O-5). DIU will start accepting applications on July 27, 2026 until October 9, 2026. 

Each applicant must provide a resume, supervisor recommendation letter, and a letter of intent outlining why they are interested in the program. DIU will competitively select ICAP fellows for a 12 month rotation over a virtual collaboration/telework environment. DIU will notify selected candidates in November and begin the program in January 2027. ICAP Fellows will produce a capstone project that will serve as a training plan for their home organization based on experiences and lessons learned in the program.
