Improvement of Army Materiel Command Procurement Policy Procedures.

Abstract

This report concerns the present procurement policy promulgation system in use at Headquarters, Army Materiel Command (AMC) and throughout AMC's major subordinate commands (MSC). Research was conducted at three primary levels: (1) HQ, AMC Directorate level; (2) MSC Procurement Policy office level; and (3) the MSC operational level (e.g., contracting officers, contract negotiators, procurement analysts, etc.). A statistical analysis of a representative sample of personnel at this third level is made to determine whether or not the present system is satisfactorily meeting functional needs. The study objectives are to analyze the present system of procurement policy promulgation; determine the validity of allegations made against the system; and identify those areas in the system contributing to its being less than optimally effective. Based on the analysis and subsequent conclusions, recommendations directed toward the system's improvement are made.
