Abstract

The intent of this SRP is to identify means to make contractor more efficient, to reduce cost of the government weapon systems and meet the services Objective Force transformation ends. The assumption is after acquiring or merging with other competitors, contractors did not modernize nor rationalize their operations to the maximum extent possible. The cost of that inefficiency is being paid for by the government; however, with some innovation changes to our funding contract language and regulations, the government (DoD) can achieve significant savings. At the same time, contractor operations will be more modern, more effective and efficient, and allow for future growth.
