Acquisition: Major Defense Acquisition Programs Cost Growth
Abstract
The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Public Law 103-62, initiated program performance reform with a series of pilot projects by setting program goals, measuring program performance against those goals, and reporting publicly on progress achieved. This report is one in a series of reports on how DoD meets the GPRA goals and discusses the FY 2000 GPRA Performance Measure 2.4.1, Major Defense Acquisition Programs Cost Growth, on keeping the cost growth to 1 percent annually. Major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) are designated by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD (AT&L) as a major defense acquisition program, or are estimated by USD (AT&L) as a program that requires an eventual total expenditure of more than $365 million in FY 2000 constant dollars for research, development, test, and evaluation or more than $2.19 billion in FY 2000 constant dollars for procurement. Cost growth is the difference between the MDAP program costs in the current year s budget and the previous year s budget, divided by the program costs in the previous year s budget.
