An Analysis of the Effectiveness of ASPR in Providing Guidance for the Utilization of Government-Owned Industrial Plant Equipment.
Abstract
The control of Industrial Plant Equipment (IPE) is an integral part of Government Property Administration. The Department of Defense tends to weaken efficient management of Government-owned IPE in the possession of its contractors by failing to establish stricter standards for IPE utilization. Although Appendix B of the Armed Services Procurement Regulation (ASPR) contains guidance for the development of utilization procedures, it tends to be somewhat vague and subject to interpretation by both Government Property Administrators and contractors alike. The authors analyzed twenty-five approved utilization procedures and evaluated the content of these procedures against the requirements of ASPR Appendix B-603.1. They concluded that the present ASPR requirements are inadequate to provide the management control necessary to insure that IPE in the possession of contractors is properly utilized or declared excess when no longer required in support of a contract. They also contend that some utilization procedures in being do not meet the minimum requirements of ASPR.
