This thesis discusses problems caused in government | |
procurement by the annual budget cycle, appropriations | |
process, and the legal and policy limitations placed on | |
the use of appropriations. In particular, the limitations | |
placed on the use of appropriations limit the most | |
effective competitive procurement practices, because some | |
potential suppliers hesitate to enter the government | |
market for supplies and services or to commit capital | |
because funding levels have been uncertain, and because | |
economies of scale have often been unobtainable due to | |
restrictions placed on the use of annual funds. These | |
limitations also have hampered the effort of federal | |
agencies to develop and retain suppliers, to foster | |
competition to secure the lowest prices, to supply long | |
leadtime items and to preserve the industrial base to | |
meet mobilization needs. This thesis is intended to | |
develop the theoretical and practical interface between | |
fiscal law principles and government procurement law | |
principles. It discusses the contracting techniques the | |
agencies have developed to cope with the slowness and | |
limited nature of appropriations, especially in cases in | |
which agencies have real needs but either none or only | |
part of the appropriations required to satisfy that need. | |
