Procurement Technical Assistance Program: Opportunities Exist for DoD to Enhance Training and Collaboration

Abstract

The Defense Logistics Agency's Procurement Technical Assistance Centers provide training to businesses interested in government contracting. DLA has a system for measuring how these centers perform, but it can't easily tell whether the centers are meeting goals. DLA also delegated performance reviews to other agencies before FY 2021. Now, DLA is doing these reviews and updating its system to better measure performance. DLA also has new training requirements. It required development of a training effectiveness test for centers--but doesn't have access to test results. We recommended better ways to track and measure the effectiveness of training.
