Abstract

The study objectives are to determine the extent to which award fee is used in conjunction with DTUPC and influences achievement or betterment of th DTUPC goal. Another objective is to recommend necessary changes to current policy for the application of award fee to DTUPC provisions. DARCOM Major Subordinate Commands (MSC's) were surveyed to obtain data on contracts with DTUPC to which award fee was and was not applied. The data was used to test the hypothesis that achievement or betterment of the DTUPC goal is independent of award fee. Contracting, technical and other personnel at DARCOM's MSC's were interviewed on the influence of award fee and other factors on DTUPC achievements. Analysis of all data resulted in proposed changes to current policy for the use of award fee applied to DTUPC contract provisions.
