Abstract
The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is an ever changing landscape that requires acquisition professionals to maintain vigilance over its climate. Ever since the mid-1990s the DIB has shrunk substantially due to a variety of reasons. In this study we focus on Navy Auxiliary Systems, particularly Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (AC&R) and Compressed Air system. Data gained through analysis of contracting history and from subject matter experts (SMEs) and In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs) is used to perform a Sector by Sector, Tier by Tier (S2T2) Fragility and Criticality (FaC) Assessment of AC&R and Compressed Air systems. The assessment revealed that both AC&R and Compressed Air systems are on relatively secure footing. With both systems it is important to avoid vendor lock with an aim to increase competition to optimize cost, schedule, and performance on future capabilities.
