1. Workload is planned to our Technical/Business Capabilities and Knowledge Areas

2. Governmental functions are performed organically

3. Contracts are used to supplement our capabilities:

a. Add capacity as required to accomplish assigned work

b. Functions that can be performed more effectively and efficiently by industry

c. Short-term specialized service requirements

• We develop our services acquisition strategy corporately:

1. Make-or-buy decisions are managed by Keyport’s Board of Directors

2. Cross-Department needs are consolidated

3. Contract scope is closely analyzed to ensure:

a. Not be too large to effectively administer and oversee

b. Not smaller than necessary to avoid further taxing limited contracting resources

c. Appropriate to the tasking and history

The Backdrop:

• Federal Acquisition Regulation – 1885 pages

• Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement – 1362 pages

• Navy Marine Corps Acquisition Regulation Supplement – 174

• DOD and Navy instructions

• 1984 – Competition in Contracting Act (CICA)

• 1994 – Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act

• 1995 – Federal Acquisition Reform Act

• 1990s – Drawdown in acquisition workforce

• 2000s – Building up of acquisition workforce

• 2009 – Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act

• 2010 – DOD Better Buying Power

• 2014 – Rapid Technology Insertion (getting technology into warfighter hands more quickly)

32

Acquisition Environment and Trends

Ashton Carter Memos – SEP 2010 and NOV 2012 – Better Buying Power: Deliver better value to the taxpayer and warfighter

Seven Focus Areas:

• Achieve Affordable Programs

• Control costs Throughout the Product Lifecycle

• Incentivize Productivity & Innovation in Industry and Govt

- Better define value

- Better define what is acceptable to the Govt

• Eliminate Unproductive Processes and Bureaucracy

• Promote Effective Competition

₋ Enforce open system architecture and effectively manage technical data rights

• Improve Tradecraft in Acquisition of Services

₋ Expand use of requirements review boards and tripwires

• Improve the Professionalism of the Total Acquisition Workforce

Distribution Statement A: Approved for Public Release: Distribution is unlimited.

33

Ashton Carter Memo – Productivity and Innovation

Distribution Statement A: Approved for Public Release: Distribution is unlimited.

Better Define Value: What is important to the Government in making an award?

• If non-cost factor such as technical, there is a limit to how valuable technical superiority can be

• Technical proposals need to contain clearly articulated benefits

• While budget is impacting consideration of cost, best value is still a continuum (meaning, it’s more than just low priced, technically acceptable – LPTA)

Better Define What is Acceptable to the Government:

• Calibrate expectations so that performance/product is reasonably priced

• Leave room to exceed expectations – important when collecting, reporting, and using performance information

34

Tightened Contract Oversight: NAVSEA Tripwires

Selected tripwires:

• Hourly labor rates exceeding rate of $156

• Excessive variation between proposed and actual rates

• Subcontracts - monitor proposed addition of subcontractors beyond what was included as part of the initial award

• Excessive ODCs on a services contract

• Lack of effective competition (when only one offer is received, it’s going to get a closer look and require headquarters approval)

35

• Keep being innovative in your technical approaches and solutions. Technical

innovation still counts in best value contracting – the key is to be specific and realistic about what you are proposing.

• Cost is more important than it used to be in best value procurements.

Technical approaches will need to take that into account. • After award, do what you say you’ll do in your proposal – in our monitoring

environment, it may link to your past performance rating • Reduce costs that drive your indirect rates • Make sure that your proposal and your contract performance realistically

reflect labor market trends.
