Book excerpt: The Office of Management and Budget Circular A-109 prescribes policies to guide Federal agencies in managing their major system acquisition programs. The Circular is based on recommendations proposed in December 1972 by the Commission on Government Procurement, following an exhaustive study of Federal procurement practices. Circular A-l09 applies to a variety of systems--major weapons, automatic data processing equipment, construction projects, transportation systems, space systems, and energy projects. This report deals entirely with the Circular's application to defense activities. GAO intends to follow this with a second report covering A-109's application in other Government agencies. Experience with Circular A-109 is too new to permit a complete evaluation of its value in improving the management of defense acquisitions. This is particularly true in the "front end" of the acquisition process--the determination of needs and identification of the best solution to the needs--since so few acquisitions have been started and none have been completed since A-109 took effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Circular A-109, the major federal acquisition process, has been implemented slowly by four major agencies and sometimes inconsistently with the concepts set out by the Commission on Government Procurement. Of the agencies reviewed, only National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) officials have seemed to support the concepts and have given high priority to revising their acquisitions policies. The new policy specifies systematic determination of budgeting, contracting, and managing problems, and mission needs; direction of agency-related research and development; top-level management involvement in setting needs and goals; communication with Congress early in the procurement process; and correlation of agency needs and goals with acquisitions. The policy also requires improvement of opportunities for innovation in new systems design by the private sector; fostering contractual competition as long as possible in the procurement process; and avoiding premature commitments to full-scale development and production. In addition to an unenthusiastic reception, there have also been acquisition directives by the agencies which have conflicted with Circular A-109.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the evolution and implementation of Office of Management and Budget Circular A-109, Major System Acquisition. The presentation begins with background material illustrating the evolution of acquisition principles incorporated in Circular A-109, particularly the recommendations contained in the Commission on Government Procurement. The policies of Circular A-109 to be followed by executive branch agencies in the acquisition of Major Systems are analyzed in detail as to content and interpretation. Three areas of major change to the Department of Defense and the Department of the Navy acquisition policies and procedures as a result of the implementation of Circular A-109 are presented. The Navy's Shipyard Intermediate Range Combat System Program is examined as one of the first full-scale attempts to implement the Circular A-109 policies. Lessons learned from the initial implementation of Circular A-109 are described in the form of improvements to Major System Acquisition. (Author).

This book was released on 1985 with total page 1320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined issues studied and recommendations made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, better known as the Grace Commission, to determine whether: (1) the issues and recommendations made on program management and cost control had merit; (2) legislation would be necessary to implement the recommendations; (3) implementation efforts were completely underway; and (4) the savings estimates were realistic. GAO found that many of the issues studied and recommendations made by the Commission had overall merit and that, while many have already been implemented by legislative or administrative action, many more require additional legislative action to be fully implemented. However, GAO questioned the accuracy of many of the associated savings estimates, found flaws in the methodology used to develop some of the estimates, and found that the description of the methodology used in some estimates was insufficient to allow an assessment of its validity. In most of the instances where GAO questioned the methodology used, it believed that the savings were overstated. GAO supported management improvement issues more frequently than policy-oriented issues; however, policy-oriented issues constitute a large portion of the total estimated savings. GAO does not support restructuring federal subsidy programs and fixing federal health care costs to a percentage of the gross national product, and it disagreed with selected aspects of recommendations to reduce civilian and military retirement benefits. GAO support was most extensive in the areas aimed at strengthening federal management systems, federal automatic data processing operations, federal credit and cash management efforts, and civilian procurement and property management activities. GAO has made similar or related recommendations in nearly half of the areas in which it agreed with the Commission. Additional legislative action would be necessary to fully implement approximately half of the recommendations analyzed.
