NDI Acquisition. An Alternative to Business as Usual. Report of the DSMC 1991-1992 Military Research Fellows

Abstract

This document presents a snapshot of the status of NDI acquisition activity within the DOD as of the spring of 1992. The text begins with an introduction to nondevelopmental item acquisition; how it is defined by the Congress and the Services; and, finally, what legislation and emphasis have supported the concept during the last several years. Following the introduction, the specific topics including requirements generation, specifications and standards, test and evaluation, integrated logistics support, and contracting issues are addressed in detail. Each chapter addresses how the 'business as usual' elements of each area should be viewed differently for an NDI acquisition.
