Acquisition Review Oversight Council

Definition

An Acquisition Review Oversight Council is a senior-level body that reviews major acquisition decisions, program strategies, and milestone approvals within an agency or command. AROCs provide governance, ensure regulatory compliance, and make recommendations to decision authorities.

AROC reviews typically occur before major acquisition milestones, significant contract awards, or program baseline changes. Understanding AROC composition and concerns helps contractors anticipate the level of scrutiny their programs will receive and prepare supporting documentation that addresses likely oversight questions.
