Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a framework for a standardized Air Force Contingency Contracting course. This task was undertaken due to the occurrence of a common recommendation calling for specialized training in Contingency Contracting. The recommendation was found in several AFIT theses, as well as, various after action reports generated due to the experience gained during Operation Desert Shield/Storm and Hurricane Andrew. This thesis answered the basic questions of need, content, and structure for a future course in Contingency Contracting. Using an exploratory research design, the research team was able to conduct an extensive analysis on completed formalized research in the area of Contingency Contracting. The outcome of the research is a four-phased, block of instruction with recommended training topics and first hand accounts of contingency contracting. The blocks of instruction can be used alone or as a segment in current DOD Contracting Courses.
