This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In FY 2009, DoD spent nearly $384 billion on contracts. This investment, representing over 70% of total gov¿t. contract spending, highlights the great need to better manage risk in acquisitions. But DoD has not always managed risks effectively: major systems continue to take longer to develop, cost more, and deliver fewer quantities and capabilities than originally planned. In addition, poorly managed growth in services spending has contributed to disappointing program outcomes. This testimony focuses on: (1) planning of DoD's acquisitions; (2) contract types and the award process, incl. bid protests; (3) outcomes of major acquisition programs; and (4) acquisition and contractor workforce mgmt. It also highlights relevant reforms in each area.
