An Administrative Law Perspective On Government Social Service Contracts: Outsourcing Prison Health Care In New York City, Alfred C. Aman
An Administrative Law Perspective On Government Social Service Contracts: Outsourcing Prison Health Care In New York City, Alfred C. Aman
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This paper explores how administrative law can mitigate the democracy deficit that may occur when privatization shifts political debate into relatively private arenas, changes its focus, or precludes debate altogether.I t also argues that the prevailing form and key terms of globalization in the United States derive from neo-liberalism, particularly in the binary division of public/private and their conflation with legal regulation and market responsiveness, respectively. This paper centers specifically on a case study involving the outsourcing of health care for prisoners by a private, for-profit health care provider, Prison Health Services, using it as a means for exploring how …
The Role Of Contracts And Networks In Public Governance: The Importance Of The "Social Epistemology" Of Decision Making, Karl-Heinz Ladeur
The Role Of Contracts And Networks In Public Governance: The Importance Of The "Social Epistemology" Of Decision Making, Karl-Heinz Ladeur
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article addresses the role of public contracts and of public-private networks in relation to the new cognitive infrastructure of postmodern societies and the rise of an experimental rationality. The use of contracts in public law has evolved: it is no longer just a new version of the administrative decision; it is now used as a means in a broad process of breaking up the permeability of public administration. New modes of contracting are a response to increasing fragmentation of interests in industry and in society as a whole. This evolution has also given rise to the concept of the …
A Decision Analysis Tool For The Source Selection Process, John R. Trumm
A Decision Analysis Tool For The Source Selection Process, John R. Trumm
Theses and Dissertations
The source selection process for choosing a contractor does not incorporate a standardized objective decision analysis tool; therefore, the process is extremely subjective and provides little guidance to distinguish between highly competitive contractors. The Air Force Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineer Requirements (SABER) program selects contractors through a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process and encounters the same problem of not being able to objectively distinguish between the competing contractors. The LPTA process rank orders the contractors based on price and evaluates the bidders in order until an 'exceptional' contractor is discovered. However, the SABER source selection committee …
The Analysis Of Air Force Institute Of Technology Theses Related To Contracting, Thomas M. Clohessy
The Analysis Of Air Force Institute Of Technology Theses Related To Contracting, Thomas M. Clohessy
Theses and Dissertations
At the end of March 2005, the final students will graduate from the Air Force Institute of Technology's (AFIT) contracting graduate degree curricula -- consisting at various times of both contract management and strategic purchasing course sequences -- which have been relocated to the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). With the end of the contracting graduate programs at AFIT, it is appropriate to ask what contributions AFIT theses have made to the contracting community. Scholars (e.g., Das and Hanfield, 1997) have argued that thesis and dissertation research is one useful method of determining contributions to the field. The author conducted a …
Small Business Participation In Air Force Procurement: Participation Trends And The Effect Of Acquisition Reform Initiatives On Air Force Procurement Via Selected Contract Types In Selected Product Categories, Douglas E. Leedy
Theses and Dissertations
Small Businesses (SB) have been of recognized important to the Federal Government for many years. This thesis explores the role of SB contractors in Air Force (AF) procurement and the effects of recent acquisition reform (AR) initiatives on their involvement, including their method of involvement (contract type), product areas in which they participate, and possible new areas of measurement. This thesis answers the research and investigative questions in three ways. First, it explores the correlation of AR initiatives to SB participation as a whole, via selected contract types, and in selected product categories via causal regression models. Next, it identifies …
Nevada Procurment Laws For Computer Related Items For Public Agencies, Rick Hunsaker
Nevada Procurment Laws For Computer Related Items For Public Agencies, Rick Hunsaker
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The Nevada procurement laws for public agencies generally require open, competitive bidding for any item that exceeds $10,000. Public agencies are also required to accept the lowest "responsive" and "responsible" bid. A "responsive bid is one which has addressed all the requirements of the bid documents. All forms must be properly completed and signed. A "responsible" bid is one in which the bidder proves the ability to perform the contract and has the resources to fulfill all the requirements of the contract. If a bidder fails to comply with all of the requirements in the contract documents, then the agency …
Analysis Of Cost And Schedule Growth On Sole Source And Competitive Air Force Contracts, Klaes W. Wandland, Gary P. Wickman
Analysis Of Cost And Schedule Growth On Sole Source And Competitive Air Force Contracts, Klaes W. Wandland, Gary P. Wickman
Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated if differences exist in the cost and schedule growth of competed versus sole source contracts. Prior studies concentrated mainly on estimated savings from competition at the time of contract award. This study expanded prior analysis by investigating the cost and schedule growth over the contract's period of performance. In addition to an analysis between competed and sole source contracts, this study investigated if differences exist between lower and higher risk contracts as well as lower and higher initial priced contracts. When comparing competed and sole source contracts the results were consistent, with sole source contracts exhibiting an …

Defining Acquisition Related Terms, Nancy F. Stormer, Richard A. Zigman
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to provide clear and cogent operational definitions of contracting terms used in today's Federal acquisition environment. This thesis is the last of the current continuing series of research efforts sponsored by the National Contract Management Association (NCMA) with the common goal of creating a dictionary of contracting and acquisition related terms, validated by synthesizing information found in current literature into proposed definitions and surveying proven acquisition authorities for their agreement or comments, thereby arriving at a consensus as to their current usage. This research effort has been conducted by military and civilian Masters candidates …
Development Of The Air Force Contingency Contracting Course Framework, David A. Bethany, Michael A. Miller
Development Of The Air Force Contingency Contracting Course Framework, David A. Bethany, Michael A. Miller
Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this research was to develop a framework for a standardized Air Force Contingency Contracting course. This task was undertaken due to the occurrence of a common recommendation calling for specialized training in Contingency Contracting. The recommendation was found in several AFIT theses, as well as, various after action reports generated due to the experience gained during Operation Desert Shield/Storm and Hurricane Andrew. This thesis answered the basic questions of need, content, and structure for a future course in Contingency Contracting. Using an exploratory research design, the research team was able to conduct an extensive analysis on completed …
An Analysis Of Contracting Actions By United States Based Department Of Defense Organizations To Support Operations Desert Shield And Desert Storm, Kathleen E. Killen, Gavin P. Wilson
An Analysis Of Contracting Actions By United States Based Department Of Defense Organizations To Support Operations Desert Shield And Desert Storm, Kathleen E. Killen, Gavin P. Wilson
Theses and Dissertations
This study assembled the experiences of the contracting professionals who supported Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm from their continental United States based Department of Defense offices. The results of the study show that these professionals actively supported the conflict just as much as the contingency contracting officers who were deployed to the Middle East. No major differences in contracting methods appeared among the different agencies studied. However, the study does suggest that certain regulations should be considered for changes or waivers that go into effect during military contingencies. Also, there are specific training requirements that contracting professionals should receive …
