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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed defense contractors' estimating systems to determine whether they produced accurate and reliable materiel cost estimates. GAO found that: (1) contractors were not providing Department of Defense (DOD) contracting officers with reliable materiel cost estimates; (2) contracting officers rely extensively on contractor estimates in awarding noncompetitive contracts; (3) current procurement regulations do not require contractors to maintain adequate estimating systems; and (4) the Air Force and the Defense Contract Audit Agency proposed amendments to the Federal Acquisition Regulation that would allow contracting officers to disapprove contractor estimating systems and require them to decrease contract prices in the event of estimation errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed eight dual-source contracts the Department of Defense (DOD) awarded for weapon systems procurement to determine whether contracting officers had a sound basis for negotiating fair and reasonable contract prices. GAO found that: (1) DOD contracting officers used such safeguards as expert auditors, price analysts, engineers, and production specialists, as well as legislative requirements, to ensure that noncompetitive contracts were fair and reasonable; (2) after determining that contracting officers improperly exempted $8.8 billion of noncompetitive dual-source contracts from pricing safeguards, DOD issued a December 1988 policy memorandum requiring officers to make adequate price competition determinations on a case-by-case basis and to exercise deliberation and thorough review; and (3) the subsequent revision to the DOD Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR) Supplement to implement that policy presumed that adequate price competition normally existed on dual-source procurements, did not recognize the importance of obtaining and reviewing cost data, and encouraged contracting officers to make dual-source awards solely on the basis of price analysis. GAO also found that contracting officers: (1) accepted four of the eight reviewed contracts as fair and reasonable, but could have reduced three of the contracts by a total of $28.9 million if they had obtained insight into the basis of contractors' proposed prices; and (2) properly employed noncompetitive pricing safeguards in the other four contracts, resulting in reductions totalling more than $30 million.
