An evaluation of the acquisition streamlining methods at the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Oakland

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to identify and discuss the viable methods associated with streamlining the acquisition process at Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (FISC) Oakland. Findings were that the implementation of Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) and the Acquisition Streamlining Initiative (ASI) of 1986 have not affected Procurement Administrative Lead Time (PALT). This research identifies several measures undertaken by FISC Oakland to streamline the acquisition process. Recommendations include issuance of a draft Statement of Work (SOW)/Request for Proposal (RFP), utilization of early synopsis and development of a management information system
