| Impact |
When fully implemented, this system will provide a more efficient, effective, customer-oriented global logistics support system, and it is thus an important component of the Department?s Management and Organizational Excellence strategic goal. The consequences of the target shortfall include a delay in realizing end-to-end asset visibility across the enterprise and the extension of legacy system operations and maintenance costs that remain in service. | |
| Reason for Shortfall |
Funding approved at levels significantly less than requested. Consequences and impact include a delay in overall return on investment and moderate life-cycle cost growth. | |
| Steps to Improve |
Actions planned include a delay in overseas pilots and deployments consistent with projected available funding. | |

Outcome | |
|
JUSTIFICATION: This indicator measures the cost effectiveness of Competitive Sourcing results by comparing current cost of performance to the results of competitions between the public and private sectors. | ||
| FY 2006 PERFORMANCE | Target |
15% cost savings or cost avoidance of competed areas? baseline costs, predominantly from standard competitions. |
|---|---|---|
| Results |
$79.2 million in projected cost savings to customers over 10 years, from one standard competition that was completed in FY 2006. This amount represents approximately 33% of the competed area?s baseline costs. Customers are expected to save approximately $8 million per year, or $79.2 million over the life of the contract. | |
| Rating | Above Target | |
| Impact |
Achievement of this Competitive Sourcing cost savings and/or cost avoidance target contributes to the Department?s success in conducting its vital foreign policy mission while being effective and accountable stewards of the taxpayer?s money. | |
| PERFORMANCE DATA | Data Source |

| Data Quality (Verification) |
OMB Circular A-76 provides guidance on how to calculate the cost of government performance versus the cost of contractor performance. The 15% targets for cost savings or cost avoidance refer to the percentage of the cost of the contract(s) services being competed. Until a particular service that is being competed has been identified (and its base costs determined), there is no dollar amount that can be cited in lieu of a percentage. | |
| PAST PERFORMANCE | 2005 |
$9.8 million in cost avoidance from streamlined competitions. This amount represents approximately 18% of competed areas? baseline costs. |
| 2004 |
Baseline: $6.2 million, predominantly in cost avoidance from streamlined competitions. This amount represents approximately 44% of competed areas? baseline costs. | |
