Contractor Risk and Performance Indicators: Prototype Functional Specification and Developer Document

Abstract

We developed a data analytic approach to integrate a variety of government and commercial data sources to assess the relative contractor performance risks for the Department of the Air Force (DAF) acquisition contracts and the programs they support. To test our approach, we developed a software prototype to implement those relative risk measures for which we could readily obtain data and for which the risk methodologies were amenable to available resources for the project. In this report, we outline the functional software specification and basic design of that prototype, its architecture, and the core software components within it. We focus on the technical details of the prototype along with summary context on the basic function of the approach.
