Endogenous split awards as a bid protest and procurement management tool
NPS-CM-12-180.pdf (811.2Kb)Abstract
This research explores split procurement awards as a tool to rationalize the
bid protest process and potentially improve the general procurement process. It
discusses split procurement as an award protest and procurement management
tool, and models bidding incentives and outcomes with both fixed or exogenous split
awards and variable or endogenous split awards (where the split depends on the
relative competitiveness of the vendors’ bids). Endogenous split awards can
increase the competitiveness of vendor bids relative to fixed-split awards, while
reducing the incentives for frivolous contract protests. Endogenously split contract
awards can also improve the general acquisition process, particularly if retaining
competition is important for follow-on procurement actions.
