Abstract
Each year over one hundred billion dollars is spent by
the federal government to acquire needed goods and services.
Of those funds the largest quarterly amount obligated occurs
during the last quarter of the fiscal year. This thesis
addresses the question of what the Department of Defense contracting
officer can do within existing guidelines to facilitate
the acquisition of needed items and services at the end
of the year. This thesis analyzes year end spending at
selected commands within the Department of Defense. The
commands included are a supply center, two research facilities,
two training facilities, and one operational air facility
Practical suggestions are offered and recommendations are
made for managing the process to insure the effective and
efficient use of funds. Specific recommendations address:
complexity of acquisition guidance, use of requisition priorities,
procurement planning, reinforcing employee behavior,
and the need for and use of acquisition support equipment.
