5. OSD BBP Guidance Roadmap
Targeting Affordability and Cost Growth Improve Tradecraft in Services Acquisition
 Mandate affordability as a requirement  Create a senior manager for acquisition of services in each
 At Milestone A, set affordability target as a Key Performance Parameter component, following the Air Force’s example
 At Milestone B, establish engineering trades showing how each key design  Adopt uniform taxonomy for different types of services
feature affects the target cost  Address causes of poor tradecraft in services acquisition
 Drive productivity growth through Will Cost/Should Cost management  Assist users of services to define requirements and prevent creep
 Eliminate redundancy within warfighter portfolios via requirements templates
 Make production rates economical and hold them stable  Assist users of services to conduct market research to support
 Set shorter program timelines and manage to them competition and pricing
 Enhance competition by requirement more frequent re-compete of
knowledge-based services
Incentivize Productivity & Innovation in Industry
 Limit the use of time and materials and award fee contracts for
 Reward contractors for successful supply chain and indirect expense
services
management
 Require that services contracts exceeding $1B contain efficiency
 Increase use of FPIF contract types where appropriate using a 50/50
objectives
share line and 120 percent ceiling as a point of departure
 Increase small business participation in providing services.
 Adjust progress payments to incentivize performance
 Extend the Navy’s Preferred Supplier Program to a DoD-wide pilot
Reduce Non-Productive Process and Bureaucracy
 Reinvigorate Industry’s independent research and development and
protect the defense technology base  Reduce the number of OSD-level reviews to those necessary to
support major investment decisions or to uncover and respond to
significant program execution issues
Promote Real Competition
 Eliminate low-value-added statutory processes
 Present a competitive strategy at each program milestone
 Reduce by half the volume and cost of internal and congressional
 Remove obstacles to competition
reports
 Allow reasonable time to bid
 Reduce non-value-added overhead imposed on industry
 Require non-certified cost and pricing data on single offers
 Align DCMA and DCAA processes to ensure work is complimentary
 Require open system architectures and set rules for acquisition of data rights
 Increase use of Forward Pricing Rate Recommendations (FPRRs) to
 Increase dynamic small business role in defense marketplace
reduce administrative costs
competition
