Streamlining acquisition practices is one of the key strategies for reforming the acquisition process. It focuses on reducing the cost and length of acquisitions by eliminating unnecessary duplication and burdensome administrative elements. Streamlined acquisition processes free the program office and the contractor to problem-solve and use best practices. Simple performance requirements, competition, and collaboration are used to create relationships and incentives that get extraordinary results. Streamlining has emerged as a new way of doing business. The values driving the process are speed, cost reduction and product performance. Other examples of acquisition practice streamlining include the integration of test and evaluation and consolidating of weapons systems life cycle support.
