About This Item
IEEE P1062/D.19, March 2015 is a draft recommended practice for software acquisition in computing and processing environments. It addresses how organizations can structure acquisition activities so software needs, constraints, and acceptance expectations are clearer before procurement or development moves forward. For teams that manage technical purchasing, vendor evaluation, or in-house software sourcing, the document can help improve consistency and reduce misunderstandings between buyers, developers, and stakeholders.
Overview of IEEE P1062/D.19, March 2015
This draft recommended practice focuses on the acquisition side of software engineering, where requirements definition, selection criteria, and agreement on deliverables are often critical. IEEE P1062/D.19, March 2015 is relevant to computing and processing work because it supports more disciplined software procurement and acquisition planning. It may be used to align expectations about functionality, quality, documentation, and verification before commitment is made. As a draft, it is especially useful for technical review and evaluation.
Typical use cases
IEEE P1062/D.19, March 2015 is commonly referenced when organizations are acquiring application software, custom software services, or integrated software components for computing systems. It can be useful in procurement workflows that require defined acceptance criteria, supplier comparisons, or contract language tied to software deliverables. Typical use includes enterprise IT purchasing, system integration projects, and engineering teams that need a structured approach to software acquisition across complex technical environments.
Why it matters
Software acquisition can fail when requirements are vague or when supplier obligations are not clearly defined. IEEE P1062/D.19, March 2015 helps support better control over those risks by encouraging a more orderly acquisition process. That can improve compliance, reduce rework, and make testing and acceptance easier to manage. In practice, a clearer acquisition framework can also help buyers compare offerings more consistently and support stronger project oversight throughout delivery.
