    BOS Market Research Questions.pdf
    The document outlines a series of market research questions posed by the Department of Defense (DoD) regarding Base Operating Support (BOS) contracts. It focuses on identifying effective contract structures that minimize post-award adjustments, particularly Requests for Equitable Adjustments (REAs), and on sustaining performance excellence in Full Fixed Price (FFP) labor contracts. The government seeks insights on managing currency exchange risks due to fluctuations in the Turkish Lira and evaluates the potential separation of BOS requirements for Turkey and Spain into two distinct contracts due to differing operational environments. Other key areas of inquiry include identifying wasteful practices within maintenance contracts, exploring emerging technologies for efficiency, establishing contractor performance metrics, and defining key performance indicators (KPIs) for contract success. The document aims to gather informed industry feedback to enhance contract strategies and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of DoD operations. This initiative reflects the government's broader goal of optimizing performance and cost-effectiveness in defense-related contracts.
