The Objectives Of B 21

This whole case was a public administrator’s nightmare for several reasons. As Rubin stresses, the mere fact that a clear budget process wasn’t planned out and executed within the confines of the allocated funds for the project. The only time Boeing addressed the plan in respect to the budget, was when they won the bid for the job and were awarded it. After that, it was more ‘trial and error’.

Wisconsin Education Act 31 states the legislative requirement that all school districts teach the culture, tribal power and history of the twelve American Indian tribes and nations in the state (Why Act 31). Wisconsin Education Act 31 is important because it gives the students an understanding and appreciation for cultures and diverse value orders. Furthermore, it gives students an opportunity to support and accept human relatives in regards to American Indians (State Statutes for Wisconsin American Indian Studies). The classroom teacher needs to have post-secondary education training in the study of minority group relations, such as Wisconsin Indian history, tribal power and culture (Act 31 and Related Statutes). Also, as part as the social studies curriculum in elementary school and high school, the classroom teacher needs to teach the history, culture, and tribal power need to be included using the appropriate teaching material that display the cultural diversity and multicultural aspect of American society; e.g. texts and resources (State Statutes for Wisconsin American Indian Studies).

Question 1: What is the name of your chosen state-level legislative representative and what is his/her office/position? What is his/her race/ethnicity, gender, and religious affiliation?

In 1959, the United States Air Force took the beginning steps of implementing a process that was based on the Government Accountability Office’s recommendation. This process required certification of contractor cost data, as recommended. The Department of Defense followed the example set by the Air Force by issuing a revision to the Armed Services Procurement Regulations to require certification of cost data.

The foreign partner can also become a competitor by selling its production in places where the parental company is already in.

A local issue that is important to me would have to be Proposition 206 due to recent events. Proposition 206 is an initiated state statute that if passed would raise the state’s minimum wage and force employers to provide paid sick time. This proposition was passed 11/8/16 and will take initial effect on January 1st of next year where the minimum wage will raise from $8.05 per hour to $10 per hour and then $10.50 in 2018, $11 in 2019, and finally $12 in 2020. This is an issue in which many people are fooled into financially screwing themselves without even knowing it. These individuals that say they support a minimum wage are not aware of the actual outcome it causes. The initial thought is that people need a livable wage and therefore the

budget for these activities. Two of the six BIDs I analyzed closely, had over 30% allocated to Tier I activities and another two had over 40% allocated to them. One had only 4% (Table 6).

In September 2011, the Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee voted to cancel the Army and Marine Corps' Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) in their version of the fiscal year 2012 defense bill (Munoz, 2011). This measure could have completely shut down efforts to replace a thirty year-old fleet of Humvees, loyal but potentially outmoded tactical wheeled vehicles. The Army's Modernized Expanded Capacity Vehicle program has been a project set to replace the High Mobility, Multi-Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) family in the works for years. The project, however, continues to be stymied by budgetary constraints. Per-vehicle costs for the JLTV begin at $250,000 and are likely to climb, as Lockheed-Martin secured a preliminary contract for engineering, design, and development. The high cost of the JLTV does preclude it from completely replacing the HMMWV, and yet cost does not preclude the JLTV from supplementing the Army's fleet. A middle-ground solution is the best method of maximizing initial investments, while also banking on the robustness of national security.

This paper will elaborate the Department of Defense subcontracting plan programs, Acts, and policies that are in effect. Furthermore, will detail the type of subcontracting plans, when they apply, procedures, and routing given by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Following will explain how subcontracting plans are utilized in source selections, the economic impacts subcontracting has on small businesses, and how subcontracting plans are managed.

Canceling this project is a restructuring theme that will have the goal of improving overall-profit margin through a narrower focus on the company’s core military project business. Our competitors are already well established in the civilian aircraft market. We are not ignorant of the significant financial, emotional and reputational investment

This position paper will address if the F-35 JSF program is worth the current investment the United States has placed into it. First the pros of the program will be presented followed by the cons. Finally, the paper will discuss why the JSF program is not worth the investment.

Target Markets: No change was made on target market because the company thought that this target market still presents greatest opportunities. Again, we kept the same target market because we need to focus on the same potential market and develop a solid customer base. But our sales has been diminished. It is decreased from 1223 units to 1151 units. We think that this declining is due to the intense competition in the market, but we expect to keep the same target market in the future and add additional advertising campaign to increase sales.

BAL developed capabilities in the areas of space and communications, site management and the upgrade and maintenance of military aircraft and equipment. As BAL grew, it faced difficult decisions how to improve or upgrade its procurement system and process to meet its customers’ requirement, especially its major customer the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The MRAP program followed the normal defense acquisition process, but some aspects of the program cannot be duplicated easily. Conatser and Grizio outlined four requirements for a rapid acquisition process – mature technical solution, user’s acceptance of a short term solution, full support by the leadership, and full funding. The MRAP program met all these requirements. There were several MRAP type vehicles already in full production mode that just needed to be mass produced. Using multiple vendors allowed quick mass production of MRAPs. Although later shown to be insufficient to defeat all IED threats as the Insurgents increased the size of IEDs and used Explosive Formed Projectiles (EFP), the commanders in Iraq accepted MRAPs. There were several politicians pushing the U.S. military to procure MRAPs quickly as possible. In 2007, Secretary Gates “made MRAP the top DoD acquisition priority.” Lastly, the Congress allocated sufficient funding for the MRAP program. Secretary Carter cites the MRAP program as an example of “how much can be accomplished with the full backing of leaders in Congress and the
