Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In FY 2009, DoD spent nearly $384 billion on contracts. This investment, representing over 70% of total gov¿t. contract spending, highlights the great need to better manage risk in acquisitions.

In addition, poorly managed growth in services spending has contributed to disappointing program outcomes. This testimony focuses on: (1) planning of DoD's acquisitions; (2) contract types and the award process, incl. bid protests; (3) outcomes of major acquisition programs; and (4) acquisition and contractor workforce mgmt. It also highlights relevant reforms in each area.
