An Investigation of Negative Pre-Award Surveys as an Indicator of a Contractor's Inability to Meet a Delivery Schedule.

Abstract

The Defense Contract Administration Services (DCAS) has established procedures for evaluating potential contractor capability; this evaluation is called the Pre-Award Survey. One of the primary concerns of the survey involves the ability of the contractor to deliver a quality product within the established parameters of the delivery schedule. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether the pre-award survey is an effective indicator of contractor performance. The study explored the delinquency rates of contracts which had both negative and positive pre-award survey recommendations.
