RECONNAISSANCE STUDY OF SERVICE CONTRACT METHODOLOGY

Abstract

The report examines and discusses a number of general problems in the area of contracting for support services. Most of the study findings and recommendations are applicable for supply contracts as well, since the DoD generally follows the same policies and procedures for procurement of both supplies and services. Briefly, the discussion concentrates on source selection and proposed evaluation problems in contracting for services. The major recommendation of the report is that the DoD categorize services into discrete functional classes and assign specific classes of services to the military departments, which will act as the single DoD advisor on assigned classes. The military departments will then be in a position to specialize in assigned areas and to accumulate detailed information for use by others in writing and administering service contracts.
