Which of the following is NOT a participant of the Acquisition Team?

The correct choice identifies a role that is typically not considered a direct participant in the Acquisition Team. The Acquisition Team generally comprises individuals whose main focus is on acquiring goods and services. These include the Customer or End-User, who defines the needs; Technical Personnel, who evaluate technical requirements and specifications; and Contracting Personnel, who handle the contracting process and negotiations.

The Financial Analyst, while important in the broader context of an organization's financial management, is not usually a core member of the Acquisition Team. This role is more focused on financial analysis, reporting, and budgeting rather than the direct process of acquisition itself. Therefore, while their expertise may occasionally be consulted, they do not actively participate in the Acquisition Team's primary operations.
