Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) management and oversight of its special access acquisition programs (SAAP), focusing on: (1) their compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (2) DOD control of SAAP appropriated funds; and (3) a comparison of the cost, schedule delays, and performance results of SAAP and non-special access acquisition programs. GAO found that: (1) DOD properly established its SAAP, but often did not strictly comply with DOD acquisition regulations since the regulations' applicability to SAAP was unclear; (2) DOD did not monitor SAAP as well as it did non-special access programs, particularly when it concerned weak internal controls in contracting and technological matters, internal communication, and record-keeping; (3) DOD followed the same resource justification, execution, and review processes for SAAP as for non-special programs, although it disguised funding for SAAP in unclassified budget documents for security reasons; (4) cost increases, scheduling delays, and performance problems were similar in both types of programs; (5) DOD has strengthened and centralized SAAP oversight; and (6) Congress has increased its oversight of SAAP, and DOD has provided adequate information to Congress.

Download or read book Further Improvements Needed in Department of Defense Oversight of Special Access Carve Out Contracts written by GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON DC GENERAL GOVERNMENT DIV. and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the Defense Industrial Security Program is to protect classified information held by industry and is applicable to all DOD components and other Government agencies that enter into agreements with DOD. Since establishment of centralized security congnizance, the number of carve-out contracts has continually increased. Briefly, we found that DOD needs to (1) establish oversight procedures for carve-out contracts entered into by the military services; (2) improve implementation of uniform construction standards for sensitive compartmented information facilities; (3) centralize and improve security inspections of sensitive compartmented information facilities and special access contracts; and (4) improve the process for advance DOD approval of contractors' requests for employee special access authorizations that require special background investigations. These findings are discussed in detail in the appendix.

This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) spends over $300 billion each year to develop, produce, field and sustain weapons systems (the U.S. Air Force over $100 billion per year). DOD and Air Force acquisitions programs often experience large cost overruns and schedule delays leading to a loss in confidence in the defense acquisition system and the people who work in it. Part of the DOD and Air Force response to these problems has been to increase the number of program and technical reviews that acquisition programs must undergo. This book looks specifically at the reviews that U.S. Air Force acquisition programs are required to undergo and poses a key question: Can changes in the number, content, or sequence of reviews help Air Force program managers more successfully execute their programs? This book concludes that, unless they do it better than they are now, Air Force and DOD attempts to address poor acquisition program performance with additional reviews will fail. This book makes five recommendations that together form a gold standard for conduct of reviews and if implemented and rigorously managed by Air Force and DOD acquisition executives can increase review effectiveness and efficiency. The bottom line is to help program managers successfully execute their programs.

This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) has budgeted over $134.5 billion for Fiscal Year 2004 for Acquisition, yet little is written about the personnel responsible for managing and evaluating Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs) -- those who perform Acquisition Oversight (AO). The AO process has not been studied in a disciplined manner during its 40-year history. Congress, past Administrations, and the DoD Inspector General have commissioned several studies on the AO Process. Recommendations were considered and implemented such that the process evolved to where it stands today. Over 40 years separate the first iteration with the latest version. Commission reports, countless studies, and historians agree on the need for oversight in military acquisitions; they agree that the system takes too much money, takes too long, and does not perform as well as most would wish; yet they disagree on who should perform oversight. This thesis has three objectives: define, document, and utilize available literature to identify the organizations involved with the process as it evolved to its form today; build models of the AO process with emphasis on the chain of command as it existed in the l950s, l960s, l970s, l980s, and today; and evaluate each model on its ability to accomplish seven goals derived from Clinton's 1994 Process Action Team on AO report. The thesis was limited to the DoD AO Process as it historically existed between the Air Force and the Secretary of Defense, or those serving similar positions. The author reviewed relevant literature to model historical oversight hierarchies. Then expert opinions were gathered from that literature on how well the oversight process models performed. As expected, the oversight process has improved over time, but further improvements are currently being sought. Those seeking improvement would do well to study past processes and learn from their mistakes. (13 tables, 11 figures, 41 refs.)
