The Test of Computer Assisted Total Value Assessment (CATVA) on a Major Source Selection.

Abstract

This report describes the latest in a series of tests the Army Procurement Research Office (APRO) is doing to make the source selection technique, Computer Assisted Total Value Assessment (CATVA), operationally suitable for use in DARCOM. This test was done by instructing source selection personnel on the use of CATVA, letting them use CATVA in an on-going source selection, and then evaluating its use. CATVA was useful in the source selection decision, particularly in planning for the decision and making sensitivity analyses on the impact of varying assumptions and systems configurations on proposal rankings. The CATVA technique will be considered for future applications where appropriate. (Author)
