Contracting for Services in the U.S. Army: An Empirical Study of Current Management Practices
Abstract
This article presents the results of our empirical study of
current management practices in services acquisition in the
U.S. Army. In this study, we developed and used a web-based
survey to collect primary data on the acquisition strategy, procurement
methods, and contract types used at army installations.
Specifically, we studied the current management
practices in such areas as life cycle approach, project management,
organization/management structure, and training
provided to services acquisition personnel.
Description
An analysis of the implications of different deficiencies of services acquisitions in the U.S. Army, as well as the
effectiveness of current contract management processes and recommendations for improvement.
