Contractor Costs during Proposal Evaluation and Source Selection - B-1 Program.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to develop data which may be used in improving Department of Defense weapon systems acquisition policy and reducing costs. LMI was tasked to explore the major factors contributing to the incurrence of contractor costs during proposal evaluation and source selection on the B-1 Program. The study focused on the B-1 development contracts which were awarded following an unfunded contractor proposal effort. The task order also provided that LMI might examine proposal preparation costs and costs related to earlier B-1 efforts. The report displays contractor cost data associated with the B-1 Program, identifies the factors impacting on those costs, and discusses those factors. (Author)
