Improving Navy Stock Fund Program Evaluation Capability through Improved Pricing Techniques

摘要

The DOD Stock Funds are often criticized in the Washington Post, for purchasing exorbitantly priced merchandise. The objective of the study was to determine the validity of the Washington Post allegation that the stock funds are being mismanaged, by finding an adequate measure of efficiency. Several ongoing measures are reviewed and the pricing program is selected as the best method from which a comprehensive model can be developed to adequately measure Navy Stock Fund efficiency. Several alternatives to the current pricing program are identified. More flexible procurement policies and procedures are recommended at the customer level while at the same time imposing stiffer penalties on contractors who deliberately abuse the stock fund system.
