Innovative Procurement Strategies

Abstract

Most organizations within the Department of Defense are searching for the means to increase savings, operate more efficiently, and produce a higher-quality product despite downsizing and shrinking budgets. However, these admirable goals can go astray leading to potentially improper procurements, while striving to meet mission requirements. Therefore, this article discusses the execution of two innovative procurement experiments that accomplished these goals specifically in the areas of research, development, test and evaluation, environment, and the evolution of strategies, their regulatory basis, and the net effect of the total experiment.
