Army Contracting Command Workforce Model Analysis

Abstract

Competition for financial and human resources continues to pressure Department of Defense (DoD) contracting organizations to accomplish their mission as efficiently and effectively as possible. The contracting workforce shoulders the burden of balancing the goals of maximizing taxpayers value for money and reducing operating cost to the lowest reasonable level. Ensuring the right mix of acquisition professionals with the right competencies for each mission is essential to meet this challenge. This report is follow-on research to previous workforce model research (Reed, 2010), upon which this report relies substantially. Reed (2010) provided a survey of existing DoD contracting workforce models. This research seeks to identify best-in-class variables from the previous research as well as any opportunities for improvement identified during analysis of the models.
