A Case Study of the Contract Closeout Process at Defense Contract Management Agency Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Orlando (DCMA LMMFC -ORL)
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the contract closeout process and determine what is causing the backlog of contracts in the contract closeout process. Specifically, the contracts currently in closeout at Defense Contract Management Agency Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control Orlando (DCMA LMMFC-ORL) will be analyzed to determine which activities are holding up the closeout process for those contracts. In addition, this research will help DCMA LMMFC-ORL improve its contract closeout process by identifying the reasons for the backlog of contracts needing closeout and thus, allowing the deobligation of funds that the DoD can then use in further procurements. To mitigate the current backlog of contracts in the contract closeout process, the following questions were asked: Based on the analysis of the contract closeout process at DCMA LMMFC-ORL, what are the reasons for the backlogs of contracts? Based on the findings, how can DCMA LMMFC-ORL improve its contract closeout process to reduce the backlogs of contracts waiting to be closed out, and any funding due to DoD can be de-obligated?
