Navy Auxiliary System Acquisition Analysis

Abstract

The Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is an ever-changing landscape that requires acquisition professionalsto maintain vigilance over its climate. Ever since the mid-1990s, the DIB has shrunk substantially due to avariety of reasons. In this study, we focus on two Navy Auxiliary Systems: air conditioning and refrigeration(AC and R) and compressed air systems. Data gained through analysis of contracting history and from subjectmatter experts (SME) and in-service engineering agents (ISEA) are used to perform a sector by sector, tierby tier (S2T2) fragility and criticality (FaC) assessment of AC and R and compressed air systems. Theassessment revealed that both AC and R and compressed air systems carry moderate risk. With both systems, itis important to avoid vendor lock with an aim to increase competition to optimize cost, schedule, andperformance on future capabilities
