Book Description
The amount of money that the Department of Defense (DOD) spends each year contracting for goods and services dwarfs the amounts spent by other federal agencies. For example, during fiscal year 1999, DOD reported that it spent about $130 billion on contracts for goods and services. By comparison, the second largest contractor of goods and services in the federal government was the Department of Energy, which reported that it spent about $15.5 billion during the same period.
DOD systems modernization continued investment in the standard procurement system has not been justified.

Multiyear Procurement (MYP) and Block Buy Contracting in Defense Acquisition
Author: Ronald O'Rourke
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437989462
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 23
Book Description
This report provides background information and issues for Congress on multiyear procurement (MYP) and block buy contracting (BBC), which are special contracting mechanisms that Congress permits the Department of Defense (DOD) to use for a limited number of defense acquisition programs. Compared to the standard or default approach of annual contracting, MYP and BBC have the potential for reducing weapon procurement costs by several percent.

Defense Procurement: Full Funding Policy - Background, Issues, and Options for Congress
Author:

Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
The full funding policy is a federal budgeting rule imposed on the Department of Defense (DOD) that requires the entire procurement cost of a weapon or piece of military equipment to be funded in the year in which the item is procured. The policy relates to Congress's power of the purse and its responsibility for conducting oversight of DOD programs. Support for the policy has been periodically reaffirmed over the years. In recent years some DOD weapons have been procured with funding profiles that do not conform to the policy. DOD has proposed procuring ships and aircraft using funding approaches that do not conform to the policy. DOD's proposals would establish new precedents for procuring other DOD weapons and equipment with non-conforming funding approaches. Such precedents could further circumscribe the full funding policy. This, in turn, could limit and complicate Congress's oversight of DOD procurement programs, or require different approaches to exercise control and oversight. A principal effect of the full funding policy is to prevent the use of incremental funding, under which the cost of a weapon is divided into two or more annual portions. Incremental funding could make the total procurement costs of weapons and equipment more difficult for Congress to understand and track, create a potential for DOD to start procurement of an item without necessarily stating its total cost to Congress, permit one Congress to tie the hands of future Congresses, and increase weapon procurement costs by exposing weapons under construction to uneconomic start-up and stop costs. Congress has several options for responding to recent procurement proposals. These options could have the effect of terminating, modifying, maintaining, or strengthening the full funding policy. In weighing these options, Congress may consider several factors, including Congress's power of the purse, ability to conduct oversight of DOD procurement programs, and the potential impact on weapon costs.
