| Description |
Our research studies the ways the Air Force can better leverage its buying power in non-competitive acquisition settings. In particular, we focus on the pre-award and post-award phase for contracts after Milestone B on Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPs). We examine specific factors among a few programs that have contributed to a reliance on sole-source suppliers and review whether it is possible to ease the sole-source constraint. Combining a literature review with acquisition contracting practices, we identify gaps in and provide recommendations for improving contracting in non-competitive settings. The Air Force’s main challenges include, but are not limited to, a shrinking supply base; consistent cost, schedule, and performance issues; winner-take-all MDAP awards; lack of technical data rights; congressional and political motivators; and relational contracts with contractors. Through our analysis, we pinpoint gaps that could be mitigated in order to assist the Air Force in leveraging its buying power in current and future acquisitions.
