This book was released on 2008 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's long-term fiscal imbalances will likely make DOD's 1.6 trillion planned investment in new weapon systems unsustainable. Thus, it is critical that DOD retains the flexibility to end programs and contracts when necessary and appropriate. Although the federal government generally has the legal right to terminate contracts for convenience, defense stakeholders have sometimes expressed concerns that it will cost more to terminate a contract than to complete it. To address this perception, GAO examined (1) how expected contract termination costs and other factors affect DOD decisions on whether to end programs and contracts; (2) the circumstances under which it would cost more to terminate a contract for convenience than to complete it; and (3) the options DOD has for retaining value or reducing costs, when DOD ends programs or contracts. To do this, GAO examined DOD data on terminated contracts over $100 million; reviewed laws, regulations, and guidance; and met with key DOD officials. GAO recommends that DOD review, and as needed amend, guidance on terminations across the military services and DOD agencies to ensure that termination guidance identifies the conditions under which it is appropriate to end programs or contracts, and provides knowledge needed to use terminations as an investment portfolio tool. DOD agreed.

This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fiscal year 2015, DOD obligated $274 billion on contracts for products and services, a portion of which was for contracts that used incentive and award fee provisions-or incentive contracts-intended to improve cost, schedule, and technical performance outcomes. Work by GAO and others has shown that such contracts, when not well managed, can lead to unnecessary costs shouldered by the American taxpayer. Beginning in 2010, DOD made regulatory and policy changes related to incentives. GAO was asked to review DOD's use of incentives. This report (1) identifies steps DOD has taken to improve its use of incentive contracts since 2010, and (2) assesses the extent to which selected DOD incentive contracts achieved desired acquisition outcomes. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed relevant federal and DOD guidance; analyzed DOD obligations and new contract award data for fiscal years 2005 through 2015, before and after regulatory and policy changes; and analyzed a nongeneralizable sample of 26 contracts and task orders that contained incentives and 9 contract actions providing for award fees that were awarded between fiscal years 2011 and 2015 and reported as completed by the end of fiscal year 2015 to assess contract outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 818 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (P.L. 103-337) requires us to report periodically to the Congress on the implementation of the Department of Defense's (DOD) policy on defense contractor restructuring. We have issued three reports pursuant to this legislative requirement. This report focuses on DOD's use of contract price adjustment clauses, also called reopener clauses, which can be used to ensure that DOD receives its fair share of contractor restructuring savings on fixed-price contracts awarded to companies involved in a business combination between the time a combination is announced and the time that restructuring savings are reflected in the mechanism used for pricing contracts. Specifically, we discuss (1) DOD'S limited use of reopener clauses for these contracts and (2) the potential benefits of using reopener clauses in future business combinations. As a result of the significant decline in defense expenditures since the late 1980s, defense contractors have been consolidating and restructuring their operations to increase efficiencies and become more competitive in the defense marketplace. Many of the consolidation and restructuring activities resulted from defense contractor acquisitions and mergers. In July 1993, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition concluded that it was in the government's best interest to encourage defense contractors to consolidate and restructure their operations, which was expected to reduce costs to DOD. To achieve that goal, the Under Secretary stated that DOD would pay restructuring costs on contracts transferred as part of a merger or acquisition if the business combination was expected to result in overall reduced costs for DOD or preserve a critical capability that might otherwise be lost.
