Subcontract Competition.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of increasing the extent of competition in defense subcontracting. Research methodology included a review of literature and current policy, analysis of Contractor Purchasing System Review (CPSR) data, and analysis of selected major systems and large dollar value Army, Navy, and Air Force programs to determine their specific extent subcontract competition. The extent of subcontract competition is a function of many opportunities and constraints, and the potential for subcontract competition can vary widely from system to system and from contract to contract. The level of subcontract competition can be increased; however, existing constraints must be identified and relaxed, and funds and time must be planned and programmed early in the development cycle to generate new sources and test their products.
