Transmission of Procurement Technical Requirements in the Competitive Reprocurement of Military Design Equipment

Abstract

The success of fixed price competitive reprocurements of military design equipment is affected by the manner in which procurement technical requirements are transmitted between Government and Industry. The technical data package is the communication vehicle. But inherently it is complex and unique; both Government and Industry specialists are often not able to completely understand the content and the objectives defined therein. The study seeks to identify the characteristics of this problem, its salient causes, and potential solution areas. Its arguments center around the issues of the acquisition of adequate technical data and its effective utilization in a procurement. The approach deals with the development of management concepts for individuals making decisions involving procurement.
