Abstract
Services acquisition in the US Department of Defense (DoD) has
continued to increase in scope and dollars in the past decade with over
$200 billion spent for services in 2008. In this empirical study, we
conducted a web-based survey to collect primary data on management
practices in services acquisition in the U. S. Navy and studied such areas as
contract characteristics, management approaches, and program
management issues. The paper presents summary results of our survey,
implications of current management practices, and recommendations useful
for improving services acquisition in the Navy.
