Book excerpt: This report analyzes contracting for products, services, and research & development (R&D) by the Department of Defense (DoD) and its key components. In provides an in-depth look at trends in DoD contracting since 2000, and provides an initial picture of the impact that sequestration has had on DoD contracting and the supporting industrial base. This fourth edition of the DoD report updates reports from previous years and provides greater breadth of analysis. The report examines trends in DoD contracting, breaking down DoD contract spending by a variety of contract and vendor characteristics. The report then uses this data to address key policy questions related to DoD contracting.

This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of austerity, the U.S. Department of Defense has drawn budgetary savings primarily from reductions in private-sector contracting. The 2000-2012 edition of this report by National Security Program for Industry and Resources (NSPIR) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) examines this trend as well as its broader implications for defense industrial policy. The report analyzes contracting for products, services, and research and development by the U.S. Department of Defense overall and by key components. The 2000-2012 report investigates seven key facets of the defense industrial base and provides detailed answers to pressing acquisition policy questions.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending by the Department of Defense (DoD) on services contracts, which range from clerical and administrative work to vehicle maintenance to research and development (R & D), has been largely neglected by past studies of DoD spending trends. Yet DoD spending on services contract actions amounted to just under $200 billion in 2011, more than 50 percent of total DoD contract spending and nearly a third of the entire DoD budget. Both the executive branch and Congress have implemented policies to improve acquisitions of services, but the impacts of their efforts remain uncertain without a clear, concise analysis of past spending. The goal of this project is to provide policymakers with an in-depth analysis of trends in DoD spending on services contract actions and the companies that provided them from 1990 to 2011. Using the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) and other sources, the authors present data on overall DoD services contract spending and on specific service areas. They then analyze the data by degree of competition, contract vehicle type, DoD component, contractor identity, etc., and by DoD Component (Army, Navy, Air Force and "Other"). A set of recommendations for policymakers will then be developed and vetted with a panel of government, industry and academia experts.

Book excerpt: This report analyzes contracting for products, services, and research and development (R & D) by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) overall and by its key components. It thereby seeks to provide an in-depth look at the trends currently driving more than 60 percent of all federal contract dollars and more than half of all federal contract actions. The report also presents findings on various elements of the industrial base supporting DoD in its missions. Amongst other issues, the report discusses implications for competition in providing defense products and services as well as for near-term spending by the individual military departments.

This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of austerity, the U.S. government’s reliance on the private sector for a range of services has declined for two consecutive years. Even so, real services contract spending in 2012 remains more than 80 percent above the level in 2000. The CSIS Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group brings eight years of experience to the task of understanding this industry in flux. This report examines contract factors, like competition, funding mechanism, and vehicle, while also looking at industrial base factors like vendor market share by size and top contractors by total services revenue. The study team then applies this analysis to individual government customers and service areas. The 2000–2012 iteration of the report also significantly updates the policy implications chapter. This section examines the controversial topics of contract size and multi-award contracts to determine what the data say about their ramifications.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of a technologically superior defense industrial base has been a foundation of U.S. strategy since 1945. While the implementation of the budget cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 has caused concerns for the industrial base, the resulting debate has been lacking in empirical analysis. The purpose of this research is to measure the impact of the current defense drawdown across all the tiers of the industrial base. This report analyzes prime and subprime Defense Department contract data to measures the impacts of the drawdown by sector to better understand how prime and subprime contractors have responded to this external market shock.

This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the current U.S. defense budget drawdown has progressed, numerous analysts have expressed concern about the ability of the United States to retain technological superiority, particularly given how research and development (R&D) contracting appears to be in serious decline. To examine what has happened within the federal R&D contracting portfolio, CSIS has analyzed trends in federal contracting. Using federal contract data from the publicly available Federal Procurement Data System, this study explains what has happened to federal R&D contracting and the industrial base that supports it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, there were 21 companies doing major defense aerospace work -- today there are five: Boeing, Raytheon, Litton Industries, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. The battle for the shrinking defense budget has resulted in not only mergers, but also an increased emphasis on the formation of partnerships among defense contractors. As the defense industry has consolidated, the remaining firms have been forced to cut back on internal research and development (R & D) expenditures and other efforts to innovate due to cost pressures. Should we expect a further reduction in internal R & D efforts by contractors? How does the number of competitors vying for a particular contract affect the overall level of R & D? Does it matter whether we have consolidation via acquisition, mergers, or bankruptcy? The theory described in the model provides clear predictions for partnership behavior as the publicness of the prize they pursue changes. The analysis suggests that when relationships among partners change, the fate of the partnership will tend to change along ways conjectured by Olson and Zeckhauser (1966). That is, the partnership will expend more resources if the spending by one member provides less benefit to the other member. Although the behavior on the part of partnership members didn't follow the predictions exactly as predicted, there is still strong evidence of a reduction in partnership spending as the publicness of the prize increases. Specifically, we observed a reduction of approximately 30 percent in partnership spending as the publicness increased. Additionally, there is an overall decrease of approximately 25 percent in total research expenditures by all firms competing. The experimental results provide fairly strong support for the Olson and Zeckhauser conjecture. The implication of the study is clear -- as defense contractors rely more and more on partnerships, alliances and/or teams, fewer resources can be expected to be devoted to research.
