Government contracting for financial software known as enterprise resource planning systems involves a step-by-step approach during the purchasing cycle. After choosing the vendor and developing a statement of work, government agencies should start negotiating the contract. The recommended method involves a formal proposal evaluation methodology, vendor responses, keeping lawyers at bay, leveraging outside expertise and providing for incentives and penalties.
This paper evaluates an Air Force performance-based service contract against the contracts that were prescriptive in the past. Department of Defense mandated that all service contracts be performance-based by 2005. The goal of the paper is to determine whether this contract, after becoming performance-based, is achieving greater cost savings and better outcomes for government, contractor, and taxpayers. The paper assesses the contract performance standards and how they are measured. The authors analyze the language of the Statement of Work (SOW) before and after it became performance-based. The contractor's performance is evaluated. Positive incentives are identified and described. Finally, the paper addresses risk assessment issues.
