Why ACA Was Created? • Support “Installations as Flagships” and meet warfighter needs through contracting • Parallel the structure of our two main customers: IMA and NETCOM • Be the “center of excellence” for installation contracting through continuous innovation and process improvement • Enable advance acquisition planning

  5. How did we do? • Innovative contract suites facilitate speedy contracting support; critical to warfighters – security guards, replacement of GSU reservists • Consolidation of contracts resulted in millions of dollars saved, both in IT, minor construction and services • Exceeded small business goals in the first 3 years • Became ISO 9000 certified in HQ • Awarded 200% more dollars over 3 years with less staff • Achieved 93 and 94% customer satisfaction in the first three years while supporting war surges • Established strong well-respected ACA identity and reputation

  6. What Made Us Successful? • Dedicated Focus – installation, mission and IT contracting • Integrated capabilities of installation contracting and warfighter support • OCONUS mission fully integrated and provide base for expanded operations • Reach back to installation for supported units • Centers of Excellence expanded to deal with complex contracts (ie, A-76) • Took the best of policies from 8 Major Commands, - best of breed • Empowered staff to make good decisions; revised our regs and guides to be flexible • Procurement HCA reports directly to AAE; streamlined headquarters • Contracting resources not in direct competition with other functional areas

  7. Dealing With Culture Change • Fear of the unknown • Getting out of your comfort zone • Keeping an open mind • Change management • Communications • Fighting Change – Health Impacts • Demonstrate benefits of change

  8. Summary and Way Ahead • Need to continue to evolve • Embrace and integrate new initiatives • Prepare for future success • Key challenge: resource strategies • BRAC – Joint Basing • Consolidation of administrative and support functions
