Value Engineering Change Proposals in Supplies or Services Contracts

Abstract

This document provides examples of how Value Engineering Change Proposals (VECPs) are being processed in today's complex acquisition environment, along with other information about VECPs intended to be useful to contractors and Government officials. This independent work by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) is designed for Department of Defense (DoD) Component contracting and acquisition management personnel and DoD contractors to show actual examples of how VECPs are currently being used to produce savings for both the Government and contractors. The widespread dissemination and use of the knowledge contained in this document will advance the following strategic goals promulgated in the Defense Department's Value Engineering (VE) strategic plan: * Improve the value to the Government of defense systems, * Align industry and Government incentives in defense systems, and * Increase VE expertise.
