DoD procurement and contracting personnel involved with contracting at DoD laboratory facilities should read this report. This report discusses the need for contracting personnel to improve the award, administration, and monitoring of contracts at Air Force laboratories. Background. DoD laboratories are operated and managed by the Military Departments to conduct research and development and to support acquisition. One of the main functions performed by the DoD laboratories is science and technology research. Science and technology research includes basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development. Basic and applied research are broadly stated areas of scientific study. Advanced technology development includes concept and technology demonstrations of components and subsystems or system models. In FY 2006 the DoD budget for science and technology programs totaled $13.3 billion. The Air Force Research Laboratory is responsible for planning and executing the Air Force science and technology program budget ($2.4 billion in FY 2006) including basic research, applied research, and advanced technology development. The Air Force Research Laboratory was formed in 1997 through the consolidation of four former Air Force laboratories and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. This audit reviewed the management of research and development contracts at Air Force laboratories. We reviewed 20 contracts valued in excess of $828 million.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A performance-based contract tells the seller what the buyer wants done, not how to do it, and since 1991 it has been the policy of the federal government that agencies use performance-based contracting methods to the maximum extent practicable when acquiring services. Department of Defense interest in performance-based contracting has increased in recent years, and in April 2000 the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology directed that 50 percent of service acquisitions be performance based by the year 2005. A variety of Air Force instructions, publications, and policies are in place to aggressively implement this policy. The primary goal of this study is to use examples of successful Air Force applications of performance-based services acquisition (PBSA) to illustrate how to pursue these practices elsewhere. In this documented briefing, the results of interviews with personnel at Air Force bases that have used PBSA are arranged as a "walk-through" of the process of applying these techniques to the development of a contract. On the basis of these interview results, we reach several conclusions about what seems to work in the field and what needs to be improved, and we then summarize these conclusions in a list of lessons learned from experiences in PBSA implementation.
