Mobilization and Defense Management Technical Reports Series. Impact of Enhanced Multiyear Procurement on Defense Acquisition. A Status Report
Abstract
This paper examines EMYP, investigating problems and outstanding issues. Misunderstandings of EMYP concepts and terminology still exist; Contractor investments in capital equipment and defense industrial base enhancements are not occurring as anticipated; Frequently, for a given multiyear candidate program, it is difficult to identify the true savings attributable to the multiyear feature because different estimating techniques yield significantly different savings projections; Congress, OSD, the military services and industry are reluctant to support EMYP for major weapon systems on a large scale; and That multiyear contracts result in true cost savings expressed in constant dollars; That minimum program requirements be relatively stable over a period of years; The items be technically nature and that the design be essentially frozen; That budget requests should reflect reasonably accurate cost estimates; and That high confidence exists that the potential contractor(s) can perform adequately.
