Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 213 C-17s have been procured through FY2009, including eight that were procured in the FY2009 supplemental appropriations act (H.R. 2346/P.L. 111-32 of June 24, 2009). The Administration's proposed FY2010 defense budget proposes to end C-17 procurement and does not request any funding for the procurement of additional C-17s. The Administration argues that enough C-17s have now been procured to meet future operational needs. Supporters of procuring additional C-17s in FY2010 believe additional C-17s will be needed to meet future operational needs. The issue of how much airlift capability will be needed in the future is currently being examined in a congressionally mandated study being done by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) and in a separate Department of Defense (DOD) study called the Mobility Capabilities and Requirements Study 2016 (MCRS-16), which is due to be completed by the end of 2009. FY2010 defense authorization bill: The House and Senate Armed Services Committees, in their markups of the FY2010 defense authorization bill (H.R. 2647/S. 1390), recommended no funding for the procurement of additional C-17s. Section 134 of H.R. 2647 would require the Secretary of the Air Force, in coordination with the Director of the Air National Guard, to submit to the congressional defense committees, at least 120 days before a C-5 airlift aircraft is retired, a report on the proposed force structure and basing of C-5 and C-17 aircraft. Section 135 of H.R. 2647 would amend 10 USC 8062(g)(1) to state that, effective October 1, 2009, the Secretary of the Air Force shall maintain a total inventory of C-5s and C-17s of not less than 316 aircraft. Assuming the retention of the current force of 111 C-5s, this provision would appear to support a C-17 force of 205 C-7s' the number procured through FY2008.

Download or read book Acquisition: Procurement Procedures Used for C-17 Globemaster III Sustainment Partnership Total System Support written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The C-17 is a jet-powered strategic airlifter with a cabin offering large volume capacity and a rear-loading assembly to accommodate wheeled or tracked vehicles. The aircraft was designed to airlift and airdrop loads, including armored vehicles, directly into a combat zone. The C-17 Globemaster III was developed by McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company (Boeing). On October 1, 2003, the Air Force awarded McDonnell Douglas a letter contract (contract no. FA8614-04-C-2004) to provide sustainment for the C-17 through December 31, 2003, for an amount not to exceed $259 million. The long-term sustainment contract was definitized on July 22, 2004, for $871 million for FY 2004, and a potential value of almost $5 billion (base year and four priced annual options). The contract, including the base year, four priced annual options, and three unpriced options, runs from FY 2004 through FY 2011. The Aeronautical Systems Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is the contracting activity.

Book excerpt: The C-17 Globemaster III is a long-range cargo/transport aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force since 1993. Congress approved development of the aircraft in the late 1970s, when it was recognized that the Air Force did not have enough airlift capability. In 1981, the McDonnell Douglas C-17 emerged as winner of a competition with Boeing and Lockheed to develop a next-generation aircraft to replace C-130s and C-141s. Full-scale development of the C-17 got underway in 1986, but technical problems and funding shortfalls delayed the program, leading to slipped schedules and increased costs. Despite these difficulties, the C-17 has retained congressional support and enjoyed strong Air Force and Army backing. Defense officials view the C-17 as essential in the post-Cold War environment, because of its ability to use smaller bases in remote areas. The C-17 first flew in 1991, about a year later than originally scheduled. Deliveries began in 1993, and in January 1995 the Air Force declared the aircraft fully operational. By January 2000, the Air Force had taken delivery of 57 C-17s, some of which were used in Bosnia and later in Kosovo operations with notable success. Production problems in the late 1980s raised questions about the possibility of more cost-effective alternatives. In April 1990, Defense Secretary Cheney reduced the projected buy from 210 to 120 planes. In late 1993, DOD gave the contractor two years to solve production problems or face termination of the contract, with airlift shortfalls to be filled by modified commercial transport planes or existing military airlifters. By the mid-1990s, the program's earlier difficulties had been largely resolved, although some questioned the number of C-17s to be procured. In 1996 DOD approved plans to order 80 more C-17s for a total of 120 aircraft -- increased in late 1998 to 134. Through FY1999, some $28 billion was provided for the C-17 program, which would cost about $45 billion for development and procurement of 134 aircraft, as estimated in September 1999. For FY1997, Congress appropriated almost $2.2 billion for procurement of eight C-17s under a multiyear procurement contract. For FY1998, Congress provided $2.3 billion for the program, procuring nine aircraft. The FY1999 budget provided some $3 billion for procurement of 13 C-17s. The FY2000 budget provides about $3.1 billion for the program, procuring another 15 aircraft. For FY2001, the Administration requested some $3.1 billion for procurement of 12 C-17s.

Book Synopsis F-22A Multiyear Procurement Program by : Obaid Younossi
Download or read book F-22A Multiyear Procurement Program written by Obaid Younossi and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buying defense weapon systems under multiyear contracts rather than a series of single-year contracts can save costs because contractors can buy materials in more economic quantities, schedule workers and facilities more efficiently, and reduce the burden of preparing multiple proposals. The U.S. Air Force is in the process of awarding multiyear contracts for 60 F-22A aircraft over three years. Congress wants to assure itself that the proposed contract will yield the promised savings and asked RAND for an independent review of the estimated savings. Researchers found that a multiyear procurement of three lots of F-22A fighters would save an estimated $411 million-about 4.5 percent of the total contract value. They were able to trace 70 percent of the $411 million to substantiated savings estimates identified by the contractors. Examining the issue of multiyear savings using several approaches produces a consistent range of results, indicating that the savings attributed to the multiyear contract by the contractors appear to be reasonable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Air Force's analysis leading to its decision to develop and produce the C-17 aircraft rather than buy additional C-5 aircraft for its long-range airlift needs, specifically: (1) its airlift requirements and capabilities; (2) the alternatives it considered to alleviate the airlift shortfall; and (3) the criteria and assumptions it used to evaluate the alternatives. GAO noted that: (1) in 1983, the Air Force concluded that the C-17 aircraft was the most cost-effective way for it to meet its airlift requirements; (2) the Air Force has continued research and development on the C-17 and has obligated almost $600 million for the program; and (3) in 1987, the Air Force received an initial $50 million to produce the C-17 and, over the next 5 years, plans to request about $14 billion to develop and buy it. GAO found that: (1) lower operating and support costs could more than offset higher C-17 acquisition costs, resulting in lower C-17 life-cycle costs than the C-5 alternative; (2) the C-5 cannot match the expected C-17 capability to land and operate at a wide range of airfields closer to the battle area; (3) the C-17 alternative could require about 12,900 fewer personnel than the C-5 alternative; (4) the C-5 alternative could allow the Air Force to increase its airlift capability more quickly, since the C-5 is already in production and the first C-17 would not be ready until 1990; (5) if the Air Force continues with the C-17 program, its costs will probably exceed its estimates by about $2.3 billion; and (6) if the Air Force selects the C-5, it would need an additional $3.6 billion over its estimated costs.
