Specialized Services
Program Assessment and Control
GCS resources
are available to perform assessments of acquisition operations to identify
problem areas and recommend strategic and operational improvements. This
includes conducting validation reviews, assessments, and analysis of the
overall acquisition program; elements within the acquisition program; acquisition
operations and practices at specific sites; and individual acquisitions.
The assessments begin with a review of documentation, reports, and other literature that describe the current situation and lays the foundation for formal data collection and in-person interviews to gain a thorough understanding of the context, policies, processes and constraints in which acquisitions proceed. Each analysis compares acquisition operations against benchmarks, identifies issues, and recommends actions/options to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Assessment protocol includes regular incremental program reviews.
Contract Compliance & Internal Reviews
GCS’ team
of policy and acquisition experts has developed a repeatable process and
a suite of tools to systematically review hundreds of contract files to determine
their compliance with federal and agency regulations. Our customers use this
information to identify specific file weaknesses, common trends across the
organization, as well as areas where further policy guidance, training or
process improvements could enhance the quality of future procurement actions.
Earned Value Management
Earned
value management has been adopted by Federal agencies as an effective tool
to integrate technical performance requirements, resource planning, schedules,
and project risk. GCS provides customers trained contract and management professionals
to assist in the design and monitoring of these vital systems as they continue
to embrace these systems for improved management insight.
