Abstract:

A common theme within today s Department of Defense DoD acquisition community is the importance of competition in reducing technical and cost risks, and in ensuring that a program s technology solution is mature enough based on where the program is located within the acquisition framework. To emphasize how foundational the concept of competition is in today s acquisition environment, a program s ability to promote real competition is one of the five major areas comprising DoD s Better Buying Power initiative identified to improve organizational and program efficiencies.
