The acquisition workforce has undergone tremendous downsizing in recent years. Agencies' workforces have likewise reduced in numbers but the numbers of programs they support have increased. The majority of the Navy Material Support Office's acquisitions are for acquiring engineering services from several different sponsors with varying types of funding. Currently the majority of our contractual actions are pieced through Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, with Task Orders (TOs) issued as work materializes. But the administration of awarding these TOs, is very labor intensive. An alternative contract with Technical Direction Letters (TDLs) was recommended. However, the type of engineering services procured may not he compatible with TDLs. Therefore, this thesis will thoroughly investigate both types of contracts. A survey of six Navy organizations will look of their processes to investigate how each agency handles the issue of varying sources of funding, sponsors, and urgency of tasks. 14.
