Evaluation of Procurement Alternatives for COMSEC Installation Kits.

Abstract

This study evaluates several alternative ways to obtain installation kits, IK's, for COMSEC equipment. The basic issues evaluated were from whom should the parts be obtained; who should assemble the kits; when should IK's be assembled; and who should manage the assemly program. Costs were not available for all of the relevant factors, but, nevertheless, were the driving forces of the evaluation. The conclusions are that IK piece parts should be obtained through a competitive process and the IK's assembled at the COMSEC depot under the direct control of the Communications Security Logistics Agency. Assembly batches should be kept small. (Author)
