In 2003, the Department of Defense (DoD) spent over
$118B in purchasing services. In fact, in each of the last
ten years, DOD has spent more dollars on services than on
supplies, equipment and goods, which includes weapon
systems and other military items. As DOD’s services
acquisition volume continues to increase in scope and
dollars, the agency must provide greater attention to such
issues as proper acquisition planning, adequate
requirements definition, establishment of appropriate
contracts, and proper contractor oversight. The unique
characteristics of services and the increasing importance of
services acquisition offer a significant opportunity for
conducting research in the management of the service
supply chain in DOD.
