Nota di contenuto

Agencies over-rely on contractors for contingency operations -- "Inherently governmental" rules do not guide appropriate use of contractors in contingencies -- Inattention to contingency contracting leads to massive waste, fraud, and abuse -- Looming sustainment costs risk massive new waste -- Agencies have not institutionalized acquisition as a core function -- Agency structures and authorities prevent effective interagency coordination -- Contract competition, management, and enforcement are ineffective -- The way forward demands major reforms.
