The Yoder three-tier model for optimal planning and execution of contingency contracting
No full textThe following article is taken as an excerpt from the proceedings of the annual Acquisition Research Program. This annual event showcases the research projects funded through the Acquisition Research Program at the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School. Featuring keynote speakers, plenary panels, multiple panel sessions, a student research poster show and social events, the Annual Acquisition Research Symposium offers a candid environment where high-ranking Department of Defense (DoD) officials, industry officials, accomplished faculty and military students are encouraged to collaborate on finding applicable solutions to the challenges facing acquisition policies and processes within the DoD today. By jointly and publicly questioning the norms of industry and academia, the resulting research benefits from myriad perspectives and collaborations which can identify better solutions and practices in acquisition, contract, financial, logistics and program management.

Contingency Contracting operations are increasingly the major source of support and provisioning in forward theaters, especially in light of reductions in organic (non-contracted) support capabilities. Recently, theater combatant commanders have come to rely on contingency contracting officers to support coalition forces, and concurrently, to achieve a transformation of the economic landscape essential for achieving theater objectives. But, critics of recent operations cite deficiencies in DoD's ability to effectively and efficiently conduct a coordinated contracting support effort that integrates the combatant commander's theater objectives with the myriad stakeholders deemed essential for success. Can we, the military, achieve better results? The author contends that with proper understanding of integrated planning and execution, contingency contracting operations can, and will, provide significant leverage for achieving the combatant commander's objectives. The author formally presented, on August 7th, 2003, a Yoder three-tier model for contingency contracting operations to the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School. Subsequent to the NPS faculty presentation, the author published a synoptic interest article in the Army AL&T Magazine's January-February 2004 edition, entitled, Contingency Contracting Operations--Achieving Better Results. Because of continued interest in the Yoder three-tier model expressed by academics, force planners, and contracting offices from several agencies, the author believes a more comprehensive write-up of the Yoder three-tier model is appropriate. The NPS Acquisition Symposium provides the in-depth coverage, broad dissemination and recognized avenue for open dialogue of the model and its potential efficacy. As such, this paper proposes the Yoder three-tier contingency contracting officer model structure for Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force support of theater contingency contracting operations. The creation of this Yoder three-tier model and its employment will allow for better planning and coordination; likewise, it will allow for better tactical, operational, and theater objective support.Second Annual Acquisition Research SymposiumApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

The Use of Reverse Auction within the U.S. Army
No full textStudent Research Poster ShowThe purpose of this research project is to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of the U.S. Armyﾒs use of reverse auctions (RAs) in regard to contracting. RAs are a powerful procurement tool that leverage the power of fluid market conditions through a dynamic pricing environment. This project examines the use of RAs within the Army Contracting Command (ACC) using E. Cory Yoderﾒs Three Integrative Pillars for Success.Major, United States ArmyMajor, United States Arm
Visions, needs and requirements for Future Research Environments: An Exploration with Computer Scientist and Science Fiction Author Cory Doctorow
No full textWe live in remarkable times: the world is changing at an increasing pace, our societies face challenges that extend across national and geographical borders, and we are flooded with (dis)information. The scientific process has already changed extraordinarily in the past half century with research environments evolving from isolated and loosely connected islands to dense networks of researcher and institutional cooperation. In order to develop and explore visions for research, science and society that give us ways into desirable futures an exploration series to consider different perspectives on how research will be conducted in the future was launched. This document contains the interview with Computer Scientist and Science Fiction Author Cory Doctorow

An analysis of current Operational Contract Support planning doctrine
No full textMBA Professional ReportThe purpose of this project is to analyze Operational Contract Support (OCS) planning doctrine for maturity and applicability to single services. In the OCS Initial Capabilities Document, the Department of Defense declared OCS a core defense capability. Service components are participating in numerous initiatives to institutionalize this function through the creation of resources spanning doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, education, personnel, facilities and policy (DOTMLPF-P). This project argues for the balanced development of OCS planning acquisition and non-acquisition focused resources to effectively integrate this function across disciplines. The project analyzes Joint and Army current Operational Contract Support planning doctrine for maturity using a hybrid of E. Cory Yoder’s Three Integrative Pillars for Success and Dr. René Rendon’s Contract Management Maturity Model. Next, the project analyzes the execution of OCS and contingency contracting during Army and Combatant Command readiness exercises using E. Cory Yoder’s Three-Tier Model. The analysis revealed Joint level OCS planning resources are higher in maturity than operational level resources. The author recommends establishing immaterial planning activities and common vocabulary linking inorganic acquisition and non-acquisition entities.. Also, that future contingency contracting planning guidance developed is appropriate for initial entry operations applicable to various levels of theater maturity.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Outstanding ThesisMajor, United States Armyhttp://archive.org/details/annalysisofcurre109454729
