Contingency Contracting: Contractor Personnel Tracking System Needs Better Plans and Guidance

reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1167505 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has assessed resources that it needs to sustain its contract data system, the Global Acquisition and Assistance System (GLAAS), but the Department of Defense (DOD) has not assessed all resources that it will need to sustain the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker-Enterprise Suite (SPOT-ES). DOD, the Department of State (State) and USAID use SPOT-ES as a repository of information on contracts and contractor personnel in contingency operations; USAID also uses GLAAS to record information about contracts. DOD uses the budget process to identify resources it projects it will need in the next budget year to modernize and operate its systems, but DOD has not updated its lifecycle cost estimate or fully defined and assessed its plans to determine all resources needed to sustain SPOT-ES.
