Proactively Tailored Acquisition Pathways: The "Google Maps" of Accelerated Acquisition
Abstract
Inefficient acquisition practices contribute to billions of dollars in cost overruns, years of schedule delays, and degraded system performance, and pose a risk to the delivery of critical mission capabilities. Given the increasing complexity and challenges of the nation's acquisition system, new "tailored" acquisition pathways can produce more timely and effective purchases. Tailored acquisition pathways can be likened to Google Maps, providing an optimal route for common categories or types of acquisitions. With them, the Trump administration has an opportunity to save billions of dollars and achieve timely acquisitions - including those vital to national security.
