Abstract
Military procurement, particularly shipbuilding, accounts for a significant portion of discretionary budgets worldwide. With high initial costs and long-term sustainment expenses, an effective source selection strategy is crucial in the acquisition process. This research examines the source selection approaches of the United States, Egypt, and Japan, comparing their evaluation processes, source selection team compositions, and proposal evaluation criteria.Using government acquisition regulations, laws, and publicly available solicitation data, we conducted a comparative analysis to identify areas for improvement. While all three countries share similarities in their evaluation processes, their team compositions and proposal criteria differ significantly. To enhance value, we provide recommendations based on our findings to better align each country’s procurement practices with the American National Standard Contract Management Standards. Strengthening standardization and international cooperation in shipbuilding procurement will improve efficiency, transparency, and long-term sustainability across multiple nations. Future research can compare these results with other industry segments to further gauge areas for increased international cooperation.
