Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In accordance with section 8305 of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (FASA, P.L. 103-355), the General Accounting Office (GAO) reviewed the government's use of market research. Market research is the process used to collect and analyze data about capabilities in the market that could satisfy an agency's procurement needs. Specifically, GAO was required to (1) review existing federal government market research efforts regarding commercial items and nondevelopmental items (NDI) and (2) review the feasibility of creating a government-wide database for storing, retrieving, and analyzing market data. For purposes of GAO's review, the term 'existing market research efforts' includes (1) efforts/practices used for selected contracts awarded during our review and for associated acquisition requirements, which often occurred a year or more earlier and (2) efforts/practices used to implement FASA requirements. As such, the term includes market research done both prior to and after the regulations implementing FASA'S market research requirements became mandatory for use, December 1,1995 (referred to as pre-FASA and post-FASA practices, respectively). To determine market research efforts, GAO reviewed 21 contracts that were awarded by some of the major federal buying agencies identified in the Federal Procurement Data System. These contracts are not intended to represent a scientific sample. For each contract, GAO also reviewed available market research information on the acquisition requirements. GAO also obtained from government procurement officials and industry procurement officials their views on the feasibility of creating a government-wide database for storing, retrieving, and analyzing market data.

This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the role of market research in Department of Defense commodities acquisition. It examines the feasibility of outsourcing market research functions in this acquisition arena, focusing on which elements of market research would be most practicable to outsource, and what capacity exists in private industry to provide market research services for the Federal acquisition environment. Given the reduction in the defense acquisition workforce, budgetary constraints, and emphasis on acquisition reform, effective market research significantly enhances optimal use of available resources. However, general consensus among defense acquisition professionals is that market research is not conducted as effectively as possible due to limitations of time, training and management attention. While legislation has directed the use of market research for multiple aspects of the acquisition cycle, to include requirements development, maximization of competition, source selection, and emulation of better business practices, market research skills vary among DoD acquisition personnel, as does appreciation for its value as a management tool. The conclusion is that while there are issues and concerns to be addressed when considering outsourcing market research, private industry does offer a viable alternative for conducting market research functions in DoD commodity acquisitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents findings from a research study conducted by RAND Project AIR FORCE, a division of the RAND Corporation, to examine the effects of using price-based acquisition (PBA) approaches for the development and production of major Air Force weapon systems, subsystems, and other military-unique articles. Typically in these cases, the cost-based acquisition (CBA) approach is used-i.e., the price to develop and produce such an article is based on cost data that the government requires the contractor to provide. Critics of this traditional, CBA method see it as imposing heavy regulatory burdens on the government and the contractor and tending to discourage potential non-defense contractors from competing for government contracts, thus reducing competition and quality and increasing cost.
