Challenges to Doing Business with the Department of Defense
Author: United States. Congress. House. Committee on Armed Services. Panel on Business Challenges in the Defense Industry
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Defense contracts
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
The Panel found that small and midsize businesses face particular challenges in contracting with the DOD. In recent years, the DOD has been unable to meet its small business federal procurement goals. Furthermore, the Panel found that DOD lacks the ability to track small business participation at the lower subcontract tiers. The Panel also found that DOD lacks a culture that fosters small business participation where appropriate. In its work, the Panel concluded that the defense acquisition workforce has struggled to manage and execute programs in the midst of challenges in acquiring and retaining a professionally certified and competent defense acquisition workforce. Many described the defense acquisition workforce as part of a 'risk-averse' culture where program managers, in particular, have difficulty in balancing risks in managing cost, schedule and performance of acquisition programs. DOD has, in some cases, outsourced program management and divested itself of critical skills that are difficult to develop -- contracting officials, cost estimators, and systems engineers. This reliance on private contractors can create a potential conflict of interest and blur the lines between what work must be performed by federal employees and what work is permitted to be performed by private contractors. In addition, the Panel found that constantly changing regulations leads to unnecessary complexity, confusion, and poor execution, only furthering challenges for the acquisition workforce.

The Defense Industrial Base
Author: Nayantara Hensel
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317036158
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
The US and international defense industrial sectors have faced many challenges over the last twenty years, including cycles of growth and shrinkage in defense budgets, shifts in strategic defense priorities, and macroeconomic volatility. In the current environment, the defense sector faces a combination of these challenges and must struggle with the need to maintain critical aspects of the defense industrial base as defense priorities change and as defense budgets reduce or plateau. Moreover, the defense sector in the US is interconnected both with defense sectors in other countries and with other industry sectors in the US and global economies. As a result, strategic decisions made in one defense sector impact the defense sectors of other countries, as well as other areas of the economy. Given her academic, corporate, and Department of Defense experience as a leading economist and policy-maker, Dr. Nayantara Hensel is perfectly positioned to examine the interrelationship between these forces both historically and in the current environment, and to assess the implications for the future global defense industrial base.

Assuring the U.S. Department of Defense a Strong Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Workforce
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309262135
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The ability of the nation's military to prevail during future conflicts, and to fulfill its humanitarian and other missions, depends on continued advances in the nation's technology base. A workforce with robust Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) capabilities is critical to sustaining U.S. preeminence. Today, however, the STEM activities of the Department of Defense (DOD) are a small and diminishing part of the nation's overall science and engineering enterprise. Assuring the U.S. Department of Defense a Strong Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Workforce presents five principal recommendations for attracting, retaining, and managing highly qualified STEM talent within the department based on an examination of the current STEM workforce of DOD and the defense industrial base. As outlined in the report, DOD should focus its investments to ensure that STEM competencies in all potentially critical, emerging topical areas are maintained at least at a basic level within the department and its industrial and university bases.
