Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congress has mandated the Air Force to reform and streamline its acquisition procedures while promoting participation by small business contractors. Reports on the federal government as a whole suggest that the acquisition reforms have had a negative effect on small business participation, with a declining number of small businesses receiving contract awards. A causal regression model is used to determine that the Air Force has actually increased the number of small businesses receiving contract awards over the past thirteen years and has maintained a steady stream of new small businesses into that group. Variables are tested to determine their effect on small business participation. Those tests reveal that number of contract awards and number of government-wide agency contract orders placed are useful for predictive purposes. The research also identifies two performance measurements for the Air Force small business office: total number of small business contractors and total number of new small business contractors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Businesses (SB) have been of recognized important to the Federal Government for many years. This thesis explores the role of SB contractors in Air Force (AF) procurement and the effects of recent acquisition reform (AR) initiatives on their involvement, including their method of involvement (contract type), product areas in which they participate, and possible new areas of measurement. This thesis answers the research and investigative questions in three ways. First, it explores the correlation of AR initiatives to SB participation as a whole, via selected contract types, and in selected product categories via causal regression models. Next, it identifies trends in AF procurement via selected contract types in selected product categories via descriptive numerical comparison. Finally, it identifies possible product areas for improved SB recruitment. The results of this thesis are as varied as the methodologies employed to answer the research and investigative questions. First, very little correlation was found between acquisition reform initiatives and SB participation. Next, SB participation trends via the selected contract types in the selected product areas varied much greater than overall SB participation. Finally, several product categories were identified as suffering from a decreasing level of SB participation.

Book Synopsis Air Force Service Procurement by : Laura H. Baldwin
Download or read book Air Force Service Procurement written by Laura H. Baldwin and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is based on a series of interviews with commercial sector purchasing professionals who are respected by their peers for their successful creation and implementation of what are widely accepted as best purchasing and supply management practices, particularly in the area of service acquisitions. The authors also examine such practices through conference participation and a review of the business literature. They find that commercial firms rely on results-oriented metrics that focus on how acquisition activities support corporate objectives to manage their service acquisition activities. While not a commercial firm, the Air Force can learn from commercial firms' experiences in managing its service acquisitions. The authors recommend a balanced portfolio of performance metrics for the Air Force based on the five major categories of results-oriented metrics that appeared most often in their research: cost, quality, supplier satisfaction, implementation of new initiatives, and special interest items. Commercial firms indicated that in addition to the results-oriented metrics, internal management metrics that track internal customer satisfaction, personnel training and retention, and ethics violations are also important. Selected metrics are reported to top-level executives on a regular basis.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to determine if the ability of Air force organizations to contract with Small and disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs) depended on the type of contracting effort or the type of industry or product being contracted for. The type of contracting effort was broken down into four major categories based on the Federal Supply Classification (FSC) code. The type of industry or product was broken down into five major classifications based on the Supply and Equipment Classification (SEC) code. The data to support the analysis was gathered from the Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) for the years 1987 through 1989. The objective was accomplished through a statistical analysis which included a confidence interval analysis and a pairwise comparison of means. The results showed that the organization's ability to contract with the SDBs did depend on the two factors. Keywords: Small business, Small and disadvantaged business, Air Force acquisition, Acquisition, Contracting. (RWJ).

Book Synopsis An Exploratory Analysis of the Impacts of Acquisition Reform Initiatives on Small Business Participation in the Aerospace Industry by : Bruce J. Miller
Download or read book An Exploratory Analysis of the Impacts of Acquisition Reform Initiatives on Small Business Participation in the Aerospace Industry written by Bruce J. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Government is a major purchaser of goods and services within the nation and overseas. In addition to having the responsibility of acquiring goods and services for the direct benefit of the Government at a price, level of quality, timeliness and other terms and conditions that reflect the best value to the nation, the persons involved in procurement for the Government must also do so in way that reflects certain socio-economic goals set forth by the Congress. The Small Business Act (15 USC 637, Public Law 85-536 (1958) established the beginnings of a program to assist domestic small businesses in competing for Federal procurements. The small business act requires that small business concerns be afforded the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in Federal contracts and subcontracts. This thesis looks the impact of acquisition reform and related developments in the last ten years on the participation of small business subcontractors in the aerospace industry through the window of six major aerospace weapon system programs. The objectives of this research were to (1) research the buying practices of the defense aerospace industry to determine current trends relating to small business levels of participation by comparing acquisition programs, and (2) compare existing Air Force small business programs, policies, and techniques to developing trends for small business participation and identify strengths and weaknesses.
Book Synopsis Using a Spend Analysis to Help Identify Prospective Air Force Purchasing and Supply Initiatives by : Nancy Y. Moore
Download or read book Using a Spend Analysis to Help Identify Prospective Air Force Purchasing and Supply Initiatives written by Nancy Y. Moore and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This briefing summarizes research on how the Air Force might use an analysis of its spending to develop better supply strategies, improve its relationships with suppliers, and better manage its supply base. Best practices offer many ways by which the Air Force can improve performance and save money. Such techniques include consolidating multiple contracts with existing providers, selecting the best providers and offering them longer contracts with broader scopes of goods and services, and working with selected strategic partners to improve quality, responsiveness, reliability, and cost. There are many challenges to conducting an Air Force-wide spend analysis, primarily the lack of detailed, centralized data on all expenditures as well as questions about data quality for those data that are available. Nevertheless, the data that do exist point to many prospective sources of savings and performance improvements. The authors analyze the most complete centralized source available on Air Force expenditures, known as DD350 data. Transactions in the DD350 data constitute 96 percent of all Air Force contract dollars spent directly. Among the actions that the Air Force might wish to take are: consolidation of a large number of contracts with similar or the same supplier; grouping contractor ID codes having multiple contracts with the Air Force and many purchase office codes associated with the same contractor, so that the Air Force does not have to pay for the contractor's repetitive bidding and contract administration costs; examining contracts for goods or services available from only one supplier, which gives the Air Force only limited opportunities to gain leverage over such suppliers. Conducting a detailed Air Force spend analysis would require information on the needs, preferences, and priorities of commodity users not available in the DD350 data. Because the Air Force needs to balance prospective savings, performance improvements, risks, socioeconomic and other goals, and other regulations not always present in the private sector, not all best commercial practices may be appropriate for it.
