Is anyone aware of the existence of any studies connecting the adjustment of key variables in the source selection process to improvements in acquisition outcomes? After digging around, so far the only one I was able to find was a DEC2015 NPS report entitled, "RELATIONSHIP OF SOURCE SELECTION METHODS TO CONTRACT OUTCOMES: AN ANALYSIS OF AIR FORCE SOURCE SELECTION." It is actually very good and useful; but it would be great if there was any more out there. Also- is anything like this being pursued as a research topic at any traditional universities? In other words, are there any non-DoD/Agency schools out there pursuing this in a traditional economics department? Operations Research? If done properly and comprehensively I could see the results of research such as this saving a lot of money and time- while improving performance.

I’ve worked as a contractor for the past couple of years and noticed the challenge proposal management posses to many company’s. Winning new business is extremely important, but many people work on proposals as an additional duty in conjunction with their client work. Full time proposal managers, technical writers and business development executives seem even busier, trying to keep up with the onslaught of RFP’s being released. This lead me and a friend to perform some research and talk with our friends/coworkers about their experiences. Seeing all the problems and inefficiencies, we dug in and designed a prototype proposal management tool. Our focus is on providing proposal teams the greatest ROI possible. From capture planning through the review cycle to bid submission, we’ve developed the most intuitive user experience possible. At the same time we integrated new design to match a standard workflow that is flexible and scalable based on a company’s needs. The prototype is finished and we’re heading into development. We’re looking for a 3-5 companies that would be interested in signing up as beta customers and help test this product while we build it. If this sound interesting and you would like to learn more check out www.reqwin.com or drop us a line at contact@reqwin.com. We can provide a product demo and tell you more about our vision. Thanks.

An article of mine titled "Contractor Purchasing System Reviews - Not So Different from 1991" was published in the May issue of Contract Management magazine. My contention is that CPSRs are pretty much the same today as they were in 1991 when NCMA published my first article about CPSRs. I would appreciate feedback from anyone reading the article about my positions on source selection, price reasonableness and clause flow down.
