Relative Contractor Risks : A Data-Analytic Approach to Early Identification

Abstract

Risk is a key component in any business transaction, especially transactions worth millions of dollars or more.

One recurring challenge to successful acquisition program execution is poor contractor performance. When contractors are in danger of not meeting contractual performance goals, acquisition may not be fully aware of the shortfall until, for example, a schedule deadline is missed, government testing indicates poor performance, or costs exceed expectations.
