Abstract
Over the past few years, heightened management attention
to the increased complexity and sophistication of contract
requirements and of weapon systems acquisition has intensified
the number, frequency, extent and complexity of the
studies, analyses, and other documentation required in
support of the acquisition process. During this same time
period, personnel cuts and staffing constraints have resulted
in a decrease in appropriate government in-house expertise.
In this environment of increasing requirements and decreasing
resources, greater reliance is being placed on industry to
provide the expertise the government lacks.
Concurrent with this demand for increased use of
contractor support services is the federal policy of
promoting effective competition for all goods and services.
It is the objective of this thesis to assist the
contracting officer in understanding the problems inherent
with competing for contractor support services and to offer
recommendations that improve the contracting process to
increase competition for these services.
