BUS 501 Wk 4 Assignment 2 Types of
Contracts and Performance Based Acquisition
Imagine that you are working on a
two-million-dollar procurement for the purchase of vehicles for the fleet of
trucks and cars to be used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Customs
and Border Protection. These vehicles will be used for off-road driving on dirt
roads in Arizona. Your manager has asked you to select the type of contract to
be used for the vehicle purchase.
Choose to respond to this scenario
from a government or a contractor perspective. If you select government, then
you will complete the assignment as if you are a government employee (or military
personnel) receiving the proposal from the contractor. If you select
contractor, then you will complete the assignment as if you are a contractor
employee submitting a proposal to the government.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper
in which you:
- Examine the types of contracts and performance-based
acquisition. Select the type of contract you would like to use for the
vehicle purchase.
- Evaluate the pros and cons of sealed bidding contracts
and negotiated contracts, emphasizing which one would be best for this
purchase.
- Determine the responsibilities of the contracting
officer during the proposal evaluation process.
- Assess the requirements for performance-based
acquisitions.
- Create requirements for the vehicle purchase that could
be included in a performance-based contract with rationale.
- Use at least four (4) quality academic resources in
this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as
academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these
formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times
New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and
references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor
for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of
the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and
the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the
required assignment page length.
