Accelerating the Contracting Process--A Case Study of the Small ICBM program

Abstract

Increasing interest in government acquisitions and the stewardship of public funds has resulted in additional reviews and approvals at all levels of the acquisition process. This has caused a general slow down in the ability of the acquisition professional to place new requirements on contract in a timely fashion. This paper examines contracting methods used by the Small ICBM Program which resulted in substantial reductions of contracting lead times and administrative burdens. The paper highlights ten potential short cuts available for use by other Air Force or DOD program managers and acquisition professionals.
