Download or read book DOD procurement of Mi 17 helicopters written by Michael Courts and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOD's Office of the Secretary of Defense directed the Navy to cancel its competitive solicitation for 21 civilian Mi-17s because Russian authorities told DOD in late 2010 that, in accordance with Russian law, they would sell the helicopters only through Rosoboronexport since they were intended for military end use. DOD did not assess alternative means for procuring Mi-17s after verifying that Russia would sell the helicopters to the United States only through Rosoboronexport. Although some potential vendors told us that, if awarded a contract, they could provide these aircraft to DOD at a lower cost, an Army analysis determined that the price paid to Rosoboronexport for the Mi-17s was reasonable and fell within the historical range of the unit price paid for similar aircraft. DOD determined that the Rosoboronexport contract offered the Army greater access to technical information from the original equipment manufacturer and increased assurance of safety compared to previous Mi-17 contracts. However, the risk of counterfeiting may be similar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Army's decision to reduce the procurement of attack, scout, and utility helicopters to determine its impact on the U.S. defense posture and helicopter base. GAO found that: (1) the Army will have to rely longer on older and less capable helicopters; (2) the decision will create a gap of 6 to 9 years between the production of the last attack, scout, and utility helicopters and the initial production of the next generation helicopters; (3) the Army plans to deploy the newer helicopters with its higher priority combat units and improve its older existing helicopters; (4) a production break would only become significant to the defense posture in the event of hostilities; and (5) although the Army recognizes that there are risks, it believes that its decision is justified, since the new helicopters' capabilities far exceed those of the older helicopters.

Download or read book Acquisition Reform written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the procedures the Army used to procure its New Training Helicopter (NTH), focusing on: (1) the differences between the Army's and private sector's procurement procedures for similar helicopters; (2) Army efforts to streamline the NTH procurement; and (3) potential improvements that could be achieved from acquisition reform efforts. GAO found that: (1) the Army's acquisition of the NTH was vastly different than private sector companies' acquisition of similar helicopters; (2) specifically, the Army's acquisition took longer, involved more people, and generated significantly more paperwork; (3) key reasons for these differences were that the Army's procurement included: (a) the need to comply with a myriad of laws and regulations; (b) more extensive and less flexible system requirements; and (c) numerous documentation requirements for the proposal and award process, including contingencies such as bid protests; (4) nevertheless, in procuring the NTH, the Army streamlined its acquisition process somewhat and used more commercial-type practices; (5) for example, it adapted a commercial helicopter for the NTH rather than pursuing a lengthy development program, deleted a number of data requests and contract clauses from the request for proposals, and used commercial standards in lieu of military specifications and standards; (6) in addition, the Army requested fewer program evaluations and other documents than are normally required in the acquisition process (these include functional areas such as testing, safety, and logistics); (7) GAO believes the Army could have made further improvements through quicker approval of deviations and waivers and additional reductions in contractors' paperwork requirements; (8) however, to significantly reduce the differences between the Army's and commercial sector's acquisitions, further reforms, such as those proposed by the Secretary of Defense and called for in the recently enacted Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, need to be implemented; (9) for example, the act should significantly expand and simplify the procurement of commercial items because it stipulates a preference for such items and eliminates the applicability of certain laws and clauses previously required; (10) GAO believes, therefore, that the Army's NTH acquisition could be used as a baseline against which further improvements that might result from acquisition reform initiatives could be measured; and (11) however, for combat or other missions that can only be satisfied by unique development efforts, the NTH would likely not provide an appropriate baseline.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bottom-Up Review established the Army force structure requirement to be four corps and fifteen divisions. As a result of the Bottom-Up Review, procurement of Black Hawk helicopters was cancelled at the end of fiscal year 1996. This leaves the Army with a dilemma of whether to pursue programming procurements of the Black Hawk in the fiscal year 1996-2001 Program Objective Memorandum (POM) or to retain a mixed fleet of Black Hawk and UH-1H helicopters. This thesis does a comparative analysis of the Black Hawk and UH-1H to determine capabilities and cost differences that exist, and provides an analysis of their ability to perform Army utility helicopter doctrinal mission requirements. The results of the analysis suggest that based on current doctrinal requirements and force structure levels, the Army should continue to procure the Black Hawk helicopters needed to met the requirement of 2195 Black Hawks determined by the Bottom-Up Review.
