Researching and manufacturing fighters, ships, and tanks are only
part of the picture for defense contracts. Contracting for services
accounts for over 41 percent of DoD contract obligations in 2018.
Services include maintaining equipment, moving people and things,
creating software, providing server space, and construction.
Service contracting is challenging as services can be difficult to
define and measure. But services are increasingly central to the
U.S. economy. The Department of Defense seeks to attract new firms
that will increase its speed and agility-many of these firms are
service providers, e.g., data analytics or cloud computing. CSIS
looked at a million contracts to evaluate how three factors
influence performance: 1.service complexity 2.contract-management
capacity 3.vendor's history working with a DoD contracting office
The existing data fails to explain large differences in contract
office performance. More DoD transparency about contracting office
capacity could help make a case for further investments. The report
also found that when vendors and contracting offices have a longer
history, they tend to have better results. That means DoD needs to
think not only about recruiting new partners, but also about
helping them succeed.
This report analyzes contracting for products, services, and
research & development (R&D) by the Department of Defense
(DoD) and its key components. In provides an in-depth look at
trends in DoD contracting since 2000, and provides an initial
picture of the impact that sequestration has had on DoD contracting
and the supporting industrial base. This fourth edition of the DoD
report updates reports from previous years and provides greater
breadth of analysis. The report examines trends in DoD contracting,
breaking down DoD contract spending by a variety of contract and
vendor characteristics. The report then uses this data to address
key policy questions related to DoD contracting.
This report analyzes contracting for products, services, and
research development by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
and its key components. In provides an in-depth look at trends in
DHS contracting since the establishment of the agency and provides
an initial picture of the impact that sequestration has had on
government contracting and the supporting industrial base. This
third edition of the DHS report updates reports from previous years
and provides greater depth of analysis. Additionally, for the first
time, this year's report examines trends in DHS grant awards, using
publicly available data to examine what DHS is awarding grants for,
and who is receiving those grants.
In a time of austerity, the U.S. government s reliance on the
private sector for a range of services has declined for two
consecutive years. Even so, real services contract spending in 2012
remains more than 80 percent above the level in 2000. The CSIS
Defense-Industrial Initiatives Group brings eight years of
experience to the task of understanding this industry in flux. This
report examines contract factors, like competition, funding
mechanism, and vehicle, while also looking at industrial base
factors like vendor market share by size and top contractors by
total services revenue. The study team then applies this analysis
to individual government customers and service areas. The 2000 2012
iteration of the report also significantly updates the policy
implications chapter. This section examines the controversial
topics of contract size and multi-award contracts to determine what
the data say about their ramifications.
In a time of austerity, the U.S. Department of Defense has drawn
budgetary savings primarily from reductions in private-sector
contracting. The 2000-2012 edition of this report by National
Security Program for Industry and Resources (NSPIR) at the Center
for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) examines this trend
as well as its broader implications for defense industrial policy.
The report analyzes contracting for products, services, and
research and development by the U.S. Department of Defense overall
and by key components. The 2000-2012 report investigates seven key
facets of the defense industrial base and provides detailed answers
to pressing acquisition policy questions.
