Lessons Learned in Communications Services Contracting.

Abstract

The United States Navy is currently utilizing communications services contracting at Naval Radio Transmitter Facilities and Naval Radio Receiver Facilities to alleviate problems of manpower and budgetary constraints. This thesis examines the problems that hindered communications services contracting and the administration of these contracts and the lessons learned thus far in relying upon the private sector for communications services at these facilities. The major problems appear to be a general misunderstanding of contracting for services, as opposed to materials, and, specific to these communications service contracts, poorly written statements of work and inadequate quality assurance plans.
