The purpose of this thesis was to seek out the opinion
of the Procurement Contracting Officers within the Department
of Defense as to their perceptions of the effectiveness of
DOD's Profit Policy. This was accomplished by means of a
questionnaire sent to PCO ' s at 25 major buying commands
within DOD. The results of the survey showed that PCO's
felt that (1) profit policy was ineffective in incentivizing
contractor investment; (2) facilities capital and the
productivity reward were having little or no effect on contractor
investment; (3) program instability and the impact
of socio-economic programs on the contracting process were
major contributors to profit policy's ineffectiveness; (4)
DOD Profit Policy did not have a high priority in their
organizations
.
Recommendations are made concerning methods for improving
profit policy and for additional study.
