Agenda

• Agile Acquisition Strategic Initiative• Competition Statistics• Small Business Targets• Contracting Trends• Budget Realities – Way Ahead• Business Opportunities


Agile Acquisition ObjectivesDevelop and deliver a suite of tailored processes that meet customer expectations for rapid satisfaction of mission requirements.

NGA Board of Directors, August 2011

Agile Acquisition Strategic Initiative Objectives*:

1. Add new value through efficient, flexible, and responsive business processes

2. Use tailored acquisition strategies to rapidly deliver capabilities for operations and technology strategic initiatives

3. Increase “self” and “assisted’ service contract provisions to empower customers to order pre-negotiated supplies and services

4. Efficiently ensure full compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations

*Align with Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) Memorandum dated June 28, 2010


Agile Acquisition OutcomesDecrease Costs & Do More With What We Have1. Eliminate duplication within program portfolios 2. Eliminate unnecessary administrative costs (proposal preparation)3. Create contract provisions that empower program managers to efficiently increase quantities4. Build enterprise solutions once and reuse them5. Align IT acquisition strategies with IC IT efficiencies

Improve Communication & Increase Collaboration6. Enable integrated teams to develop apps & services (industry, analysts, users & program office) 7. Provide developers a scalable, affordable, simple environment for creating, testing, and integrating

their applications and services8. Drive collaborative requirements development (SOO vs. SOW/alpha contracting)9. Promote IC-wide Industry advisory groups10.Create Tech fellow rotation program

Improve Performance10.Host applications from multiple developers11.Require unlimited data rights to maximize flexibility12.Increase use of incentive fees to motivate cost savings, rapid delivery, and superior performance13.Limit modifications to commercial products and easily incorporate latest commercial technology


Agile Acquisition Outcomes (con’t)

Reduce Timelines & Increase Efficiency14. Reduce amount of lines of accounting15. Decrease time to transfer/accept Interagency MIPRs16. Use Lean Six Sigma consulting to improve Configuration Control Management and Software

Asset Management17. Establish a formal Approved Products List (simplify development, integration, test,

configuration mgt, and sustainment)18. Streamline source selection evaluations - limit evaluation criteria19. Adopt commercial best practice of emphasizing past performance and tech demos20. Raise dollar thresholds for agency level reviews to align with external statutory/regulatory

dollar thresholds21. Assign Personal Business Advisors to each KC22. Enhance Self and Assisted Services (Acquisition Service Catalog)

Inspire Agile Behavior23. Improve workforce training, education, and experience 24. Expand governance processes to review and monitor "efficiency"

NOTE: * SB Recertification of NJVC, Chugach’s, etc. conversion to large businesses for reporting.

Large businesses incentivized to subcontract to small businesses


Contracting Trends• Increased focus on outcome-based requirements

– Desired capabilities versus level-of-effort FTEs– Use of Statement of Objectives (Government and industry collaborate on

requirements) versus traditional Statement of Work • Less sole source contracts/more competitions• Continued use of Multiple Award IDIQ contracts

– On-going best value competitions– Access to ‘best athletes” while minimizing subcontracting costs– Increased capacity to fill requirements

• Contract provisions that provide for efficient quantity increases• Options for additional capacity to facilitate surge requirements• Increased opportunities for small businesses to be prime contractors

through “Prime of Primes” teaming arrangements• Increased use of Firm-Fixed Price contracts• Decreased use of Award Fee contracts


Budget Realities – Way Ahead• Eliminate duplication within NSG program portfolios• Use of multiple prime contracts (direct relationships) to minimize

overhead costs associated with subcontracting, while not impacting small business goals

• Provide standard hardware and software as Government-Furnished Property (GFP) to developers and integrators for ease of adopting commercial products, processes and technologies

• Adopt use of commercial software and applications to maximum extent possible

• Provide contractors with a common development and operational environment (e.g., multiple software applications residing on a single operating environment)

• Use of shorter-term contracts to drive competitive prices and latest technologies

• Use of incentive fees to motivate superior performance and cost savings
