This book was released on 2004 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Findings of a study on policy issues relevant to large service acquisitions. Six case studies representing a range of new approaches are used to identify policy issues in which OSD is likely to become involved. In all cases, program management is increasingly important, day-to-day management is delegated to contractors, and alternatives to arms-length relationships are used. OSD should focus on linking services acquisition goals to strategic goals, managing congressional concerns about services acquisition, and developing and disseminating lessons learned.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In August 2001, the Directorate of Acquisition Resources and Analysis in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) asked the RAND Corporation to identify policy issues relevant to large service acquisitions that deserved closer attention in OSD. RAND agreed to examine a variety of new large acquisitions of different kinds of services in different parts of the Department of Defense (DoD). Based on an initial set of "pilot" case studies, RAND identified a tentative set of policy issues that deserved OSD's attention. RAND briefed OSD on these issues in December 2001. OSD asked RAND to fill out these case studies with additional information and to expand the number of acquisitions covered in the study to six to test the robustness of the issues identified in the December briefing. In March 2002, OSD also asked RAND to draw on interim findings to help OSD frame new policy on "Acquisition of Services," as required by the Fiscal Year 2002 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 801. This report documents the findings that resulted from these efforts. It uses six case studies to identify high-level policy issues for which OSD is likely to become involved in large, innovative service acquisitions as their use expands in DoD. It should interest analysts and practitioners involved in the acquisition of defense services and, more generally, in ongoing acquisition reform efforts in DoD. The work was conducted in the Acquisition and Technology Policy Program of RAND National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), a unit of the RAND Corporation. NDRI is a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Corm Commands, and the defense agencies NDFJ conducts research on complex national defense policy and strategy problems for which multidisciplinary capability, objectivity, and an explicit national-interest charter are essential.

Download or read book Defense Acquisitions: Actions Needed to Ensure Value for Service Contracts written by John Solis and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In FY 2008, the DoD obligated over $200 billion on contracts for services, which accounted for more than half of its total contract obligations. Given the serious budget pressures facing the nation, it is critical that DoD obtain value when buying these services. Yet DoD does not always use sound practices when acquiring services, and the dep¿t. lacks sufficient people with the right skills to support its acquisitions. This report addresses challenges facing DoD in measuring the value from and risks associated with its contracting for services. Specifically it focuses on: (1) challenges DoD faces in following sound contract and contracting management practices; and (2) recent actions DoD has taken to improve its management of service contracting.

Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions by : Moshe Schwartz
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions written by Moshe Schwartz and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Department of Defense (DOD) efforts to acquire goods and services are often complex and controversial. These efforts are referred to as defense acquisitions. The structure DOD utilizes to plan, execute, and oversee those activities is an intricate and multi-variate system of systems composed of the requirements, resource allocation, and acquisition systems. This system of systems has evolved over time, its foundation being the report published by the Packard Commission in 1986, many of whose recommendations became part of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986. This evolution continued, as the requirements system changed from a threat-based to a capabilities-based system; the resource allocation system added execution reviews and concurrent program/budget reviews; and the acquisition system became a flexible, tailored process. The complexity of this system of systems combined with the magnitude of personnel, activities and funding involved in its operation can result in problems, including inefficient operations, fraud/waste/abuse, and inadequate implementation or enforcement of the laws and regulations that govern it. Both DOD and Congress have worked to address these types of problems and accompanying issues over the years. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2009, a number of major efforts were undertaken to reform the acquisition progress. DOD issued ...

Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions by : United States. Government Accountability Office
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions written by United States. Government Accountability Office and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly three decades ago, Congress enacted the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization Act. As GAO has found, the act sought to strengthen civilian control over the acquisition function in DOD and establish a more streamlined chain of command for developing and procuring weapon systems. The reporting chain, which remains in effect today, runs upward from a program manager, through a program executive officer, to a service acquisition executive, and to the defense acquisition executive. Many acquisition reform studies have identified a need for increased accountability in DOD's acquisition management chain of command. The Senate Armed Services Committee Report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 mandated that GAO review DOD's acquisition chain of command. This report examines (1) findings and recommendations made by studies that assessed the role of the military service chiefs; and (2) how current DOD and military department policies define the roles and responsibilities of the service chiefs in acquisition management.
Book Synopsis Defense Acquisitions: DoD Must Balance Its Needs with Available Resources and Follow an Incremental Approach to Acquiring Weapon Systems by : Michael J. Sullivan
Download or read book Defense Acquisitions: DoD Must Balance Its Needs with Available Resources and Follow an Incremental Approach to Acquiring Weapon Systems written by Michael J. Sullivan and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broad consensus exists that weapon system problems are serious, but efforts at reform have had limited impact. Last year, it was reported that DoD's portfolio of weapon programs experienced cost growth of $295 billion from first estimates, were delayed by an average of 21 months, and delivered fewer quantities and capabilities to the war-fighter than originally planned. This testimony describes the systemic problems that contribute to the cost, schedule, and performance problems in weapon system programs, recent actions that DoD has taken to address these problems, proposed reform legislation that has recently been introduced, and additional steps needed to improve future performance of acquisition programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In fiscal year 2009, the Department of Defense (DOD) spent nearly $384 billion on contracts. This investment, representing over 70 percent of total government contract spending, highlights the great need to better manage risk in acquisitions. But DOD has not always managed risks effectively: major systems continue to take longer to develop, cost more, and deliver fewer quantities and capabilities than originally planned. In addition, poorly managed growth in services spending has contributed to disappointing program outcomes. DOD weapon system acquisition and contract management have been on GAO's high-risk list for nearly 20 years.This testimony focuses on(1) planning of DOD's acquisitions; (2) contract types and the award process, including bid protests; (3) outcomes of major acquisition programs; and (4) acquisition and contractor workforce management. It also highlights relevant reforms in each area.This statement is based on GAO's body of work on DOD acquisitions and contracting and on GAO's statutory role in issuing bid protest decisions. GAO has made numerous recommendations in prior work but is not making any new recommendations in this..."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "GAO has previously reported that requirements changes are factors in poor cost and schedule outcomes on Department of Defense (DOD) weapon programs. In 2007, DOD introduced Configuration Steering Boards (CSBs) to review requirement and configuration changes that could adversely affect programs. In 2008, Congress made annual CSB meetings a requirement for all of the military departments' major defense acquisition programs. In response to the Senate report accompanying the bill for the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, GAO assessed (1) the extent to which DOD has complied with the statutory requirements for CSBs, and (2) the extent to which CSBs have been effective in controlling requirements and mitigating cost and schedule risks. To conduct this work, GAO surveyed DOD's major defense acquisition programs, reviewed CSB documentation, and interviewed relevant military service and program officials. Among GAO's recommendations for DOD components are that they amend their CSB policies to be consistent with statute and align CSBs with other reviews when possible. In comments on a draft of this report, DOD concurred or partially concurred with all seven of GAO's recommendations and agreed to take action to address..."
