Book excerpt: This report provides background information and issues for Congress on multiyear procurement (MYP) and block buy contracting (BBC), which are special contracting mechanisms that Congress permits the Department of Defense (DOD) to use for a limited number of defense acquisition programs. Compared to the standard or default approach of annual contracting, MYP and BBC have the potential for reducing weapon procurement costs by several percent.

Book excerpt: Multiyear procurement (MYP) and block buy contracting (BBC) are special contracting mechanisms that Congress permits the Department of Defense (DOD) to use for a limited number of defense acquisition programs. Compared to the standard or default approach of annual contracting, MYP and BBC have the potential for reducing weapon procurement costs by several percent. Under annual contracting, DOD uses one or more contracts for each year's worth of procurement of a given kind of item. Under MYP, DOD instead uses a single contract for two to five years' worth of procurement of a given kind of item without having to exercise a contract option for each year after the first year. DOD needs congressional approval for each use of MYP. There is a permanent statute governing MYP contracting-10 U.S.C. 2306b. Under this statute, a program must meet several criteria to qualify for MYP. Compared with estimated costs under annual contracting, estimated savings for programs being proposed for MYP have ranged from less than 5% to more than 15%, depending on the particulars of the program in question, with many estimates falling in the range of 5% to 10%. In practice, actual savings from using MYP rather than annual contracting can be difficult to observe or verify because of cost growth during the execution of the contract due to changes in the program independent of the use of MYP rather than annual contracting. BBC is similar to MYP in that it permits DOD to use a single contract for more than one year's worth of procurement of a given kind of item without having to exercise a contract option for each year after the first year. BBC is also similar to MYP in that DOD needs congressional approval for each use of BBC. BBC differs from MYP in the following ways:

BBC is also similar to MYP in that DOD needs congressional approval for each use of BBC. BBC differs from MYP in the following ways: There is no permanent statute governing the use of BBC. There is no requirement that BBC be approved in both a DOD appropriations act and an act other than a DOD appropriations act. Programs being considered for BBC do not need to meet any legal criteria to qualify for BBC, because there is no permanent statute governing the use of BBC that establishes such criteria. A BBC contract can cover more than five years of planned procurements. Economic order quantity (EOQ) authority-the authority to bring forward selected key components of the items to be procured under the contract and purchase the components in batch form during the first year or two of the contract-does not come automatically as part of BBC authority because there is no permanent statute governing the use of BBC that includes EOQ authority as an automatic feature. BBC contracts are less likely to include cancellation penalties. Potential issues for Congress concerning MYP and BBC include whether to use MYP and BBC in the future more frequently, less frequently, or about as frequently as they are currently used; whether to create a permanent statute to govern the use of BBC, analogous to the permanent statute that governs the use of MYP; and a proposal from the Department of the Navy for a new MYP contract for the V-22 tilt-rotor aircraft program that would cover a period of seven years, or two more than the five years to which MYP contracts are normally limited by 10 U.S.C. 2306b.

Book excerpt: DOD spends $10 billion annually on multiyear procurement (MYP) contracts for weapons systems. MYPs may save money through more efficient relationships with suppliers and producers, but may also suffer losses if cancelled and can limit future budget flexibility. Recently, Congress has been concerned about DOD's management of the process and savings realized by MYPs. GAO was asked to evaluate DOD's review process for MYP candidates; examine MYP program outcomes; identify the impact of changes to MYP savings threshold guidance, and determine how much DOD validates MYP performance. To do this, GAO reviewed statutes and other guidance, held discussions with relevant officials, examined DOD budget justifications and contracts, and conducted limited case studies. GAO is making recommendations that DOD improve the outcomes of multiyear justification reviews by improving guidance, providing third party validation of MYP estimates, implementing a centralized database for MYP information, and conducting after-action assessments of completed MYP contracts. DOD concurred with two of the recommendations and partially concurred with the other

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Note describes the concept of multiyear contracting in defense procurement, summarizes recent proposals and new legislation intended to widen its use and increase its utility, and outlines the criteria to be used in choosing the types of acquisition best adapted to this mode of contracting. Its purpose is to describe and explain rather than to assess or advocate, and it emphasizes contracting for production--that is, for the procurement of end items not available off the shelf. The Note discusses basic funding-contracting modes, changes in multiyear contracting and advanced procurement, and issues of choice in applying the opportunities for multiyear procurement provided by the DoD authorization act, 1982. 44 pp. Ref. (Author).

Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between Congress and the Department of Defense (DoD) with respect to Multiyear Procurement (MYP) within the 1990's environment of decreasing fiscal budgets. Sub-issues include analysis of MYP cancellation risk, levels of Congressional control over the DOD MYP process and the Congressional MYP approval/rejection decisions. The data for this research were gathered through a literature review on the internet, LEXIS/ NEXIS, and various libraries. Interviews were conducted with personnel on the Secretary of Defense staff, Senate Armed Services Committee Staff and numerous DoD program offices. This thesis concludes that multiyear cancellation risk is not as high as it is generally perceived. It also concludes that MYP legislation has not fully evolved consistent with recent acquisition reform initiatives. The final conclusion is that Congress' rationale for MYP approval/rejection is often not clear. Finally this thesis presents two recommendations to improve the MYP process.
