Abstract
In recent years government agencies have become increasingly
reliant on the use of automatic data processing
equipment for accomplishing their daily tasks. Without
this equipment most agencies, including the Navy, would not
be able to function. As spending on automatic data proce
ssing equipment escalated at rapid rates, various rules
and regulations were published by agencies in an attempt
to ensure the effective management of this equipment.
These rules often conflict v/ith each other and often hinder
activities trying to accomplish their missions.
This thesis will examine these rules and their affect
on the Na^/y's automatic data processing equipment acquisition
system. An attempt will be made to determine changes
which the Navy can make to improve the system and make it
more responsive to the user's needs. The study will focus
on both the approval and the contracting portions of the
acquisition cycle.
