Evaluation of Procedures Employed during Source Selection for Contracts Including Clauses Requiring Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC).
Abstract
To effectively manage Research and Development, and full-scale production programs, the DOD requires contractors to submit performance measurement information. Performance measurement information is produced by management systems for control purposes and is verified as valid and timely by its adherence to the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC). This research effort examines how performance measurement systems are evaluated during source selection. This thesis explains: the C/SCSC-related items of a DOD solicitation and the resulting requirement placed on a contractor's proposal; how the source selection process works; the importance of C/SCSC in regard to the overall source selection; and how the contractor's C/SCSC plan is evaluated during source selection. The research is based primarily on interviews with Aeronautical Systems Division personnel. Those interviewed were chosen based on their position, experience, and training. The general agreement among those interviewed provides a basis for developing a list of important items to consider during source selection when evaluating contracts which include C/SCSC clauses.
