Abstract
Delinquency on the part of Navy contractors plays an
important role in exacerbating the shortage of repair parts
needed to support the fleet. Nearly one quarter of all stock
and in-use item contracts can be classified as delinquent.
SPCC, in its role as a weapons system life cycle manager,
faces a complex, and very real delinquency problem.
The objective of this research effort:, is to explore
those factors associated with the procurement of stock and
in-use items, that contribute most to the problem of managing
delinquency. Emphasis is placed on environmental factors
and the problems of managing a procurement organization as
a public entity. Problem-solving strategies are analyzed
and discussed as are contractual and extra-contractual
considerations that may help to mitigate the delinquency
problem.
