• Sommario/riassunto: The Coast Guard initially pursued the Deepwater program as a performance-based acquisition, meaning that the Coast Guard set performance requirements for the program and permitted the private- sector LSI some latitude in determining how the various elements of the Deepwater system would meet those requirements ... The Coast Guard states that it is still using a systems approach to optimizing its acquisition programs, including the Deepwater acquisition programs, but that the system being optimized is now the Coast Guard as a whole, as opposed to the Deepwater subset of programs ... The Coast Guard has also stated that if the FRC-Bs fully meet the requirements for the FRC, all 58 of the FRCs might be built to the FRC-B design ... The $856.0 million requested for surface ships and boats includes funding for production of the fifth NSC; continued analysis and design of the OPC; production of the FRCs numbers 9 through 12; production of one LRI and one SRP; and operational enhancement of three Medium Endurance Cutters at the Coast Guard Yard through the Mission Effectiveness Project ... For a more detailed discussion, see Appendix A. Coast Guard Reform Actions in 2007 In 2007, as the Coast Guard's management and execution of the then-integrated Deepwater program was being strongly criticized by various observers, the Coast Guard announced a number of reform actions that significantly altered the service's approach to Deepwater acquisition and to Coast Guard acquisition in general.
