Feasibility of an AMC (Army Materiel Command) Contractor Performance History System.

Abstract

Within the field of defense acquisition it has long been recognized that contracts are sometimes awarded to firms which have histories of poor quality products or late deliveries. It has ben hypothesized that the recognized problem is largely due to the absence of contractor performance history systems which could assist decision makers in selecting better qualified contractors. The main objective of this effort was to determine the feasibility of developing and utilizing a AMC Contractor Performance History System as a possible solution to the problem. This feasibility study was to be based upon an examination of three (3) existing quality-oriented history systems. Additionally, data available from the Defense Contract Administration Services (DCAS) and data compiled by the Procurement and Production Directorates of AMC's Major Subordinate Commands (MSC's) were to be considered. Keywords: Late deliveries; Measurement tools.
