Better Cost-Control Measures Are Needed on the Army's Cost-Reimbursable Services Contract for Logistics Support of Stryker Vehicles

Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of the contractor logistics support strategy for the Stryker family of vehicles. The Project Management Office for Stryker Brigade Combat Team (PMO Stryker) entered into the contract with General Dynamics Land Systems with a singular focus to achieve an operational readiness rate (ORR) goal of 90 percent and actually achieved an ORR in excess of 96 percent. This report is the first of three reports and addresses performance metrics and contract type; subsequent reports will address the contract funding procedures, contractor billings, and controls over Government property being managed by the contractor.
