Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An organization "bundles" the services that it purchases when it consolidates activities previously provided by separate sources and purchases the services through a single contract from a single provider. The Department of Defense is giving increasing attention to this practice because commercial firms report that bundling offers the potential for significant performance and cost benefits. However, the goals of the federal government differ from those of commercial firms in that federal regulations commit the Air Force and other federal organizations to place "a fair proportion" of purchases and contracts with small business enterprises and to maintain free and open competition among prospective providers of services to the federal government. Small businesses typically do not have the scale of operation or scope of expertise to provide bundles of services as prime contractors. The authors of this report discuss recent legislation designed to protect small businesses by ensuring that bundling occurs only when it is likely to generate "measurably substantial" increases in performance or reductions in cost to the federal buyer. After reviewing potential sources of such benefits, the authors propose a methodology that buying agencies could use to gather information on when and how to bundle the services they buy and justify those decisions in a way that satisfies the legislative requirements."--Rand abstracts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effect of Federal Contract Bundling on Small Business: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Procurement, Taxation, and Tourism of the Committee on Small Business, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; Washington, D. C., June 13, 1993 Today, the subcommittee continues to investigate the contract bundling practice Of the Federal Government and the damage that it is causing to the small business contracting community. The sub committee was particularly disappointed that the report which was presented by the sba was severely lacking in tangible facts to the bundling problem. Unfortunately, its main conclusion was that {nore study was needed in order to determine the scope of the prob em. This subcommittee not only has long accepted the fact that there is a problem, but it believes action, not further study, is warranted. To this end, the subcommittee has taken a number of initiatives. Today, for those who choose to question the validity for the exist ence of bundling problems, we will receive testimony from a number of small business people who will provide us with details and the reality of how this practice is affecting small businesses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the increasingly common practice of contract bundling, which is accelerating the concentration of larger & fewer federal contracts into the hands of larger & fewer companies. As this happens, the small business share of federal dollars is stagnating well below established agency small business contracting goals. Small businesses, unable to compete for larger contracts, are leaving the federal marketplace in increasing numbers. The diminishing diversity of the federal industrial base that contract bundling is fueling will have long term & detrimental consequences to the government's ability to procure needed services & supplies at competitive prices.
