Abstract
The government acquisition workforce has been encouraged to find ways to decrease the amount the government spends on contracts and to find efficiencies within federal procurement. The federal government has implemented a category management initiative to reduce the total cost of ownership and find cost savings.Services account for much of the government’s discretionary spending, and knowledge based or professional services account for a large portion of those services. The U.S. Army is in the beginning stages of implementing category management for professional services. The purpose of this project is to identify the U.S. Army’s spending trends and opportunities in the procurement of management advisory services. A spend analysis is performed utilizing FY12–FY18 Federal Procurement Data System–Next Generation (FPDS-NG) data to determine which product service codes (PSCs) associated with the Level 2 category of management advisory services make up the majority of the spend for the U.S. Army. In addition we analyze and identify trends in purchasing management advisory services over the seven-year span of FPDS-NG data, which contracting offices purchase the most management advisory services, and which vendors are associated with the most contract actions for PSCs associated with management advisory services.
