Summary:

Several efforts are underway to overhaul the Pentagon's acquisition system. Widespread support exists for streamlining the defense acquisition process to ease the administrative burden on the Defense Department and its contractors and to integrate the defense and commercial sectors of industry. GAO, which strongly supports acquisition reform, recently visited eight contractors and talked to experts and trade associations about this issue. This report discusses (1) how the eight contractors integrate or separate their structures and operations to do business with the defense and commercial structures and (2) whether these structures and operations are caused or influenced by defense acquisition laws, regulations, practices, and specifications.
