Description: The primary purpose of this thesis is to analyze recent court decisions relating to disputes in Department of      the Navy service and support contracts as a means to identify potential weaknesses in Department of the      Navy contracting norms and execution practices. This thesis identifies patterns in the formation and      administration of those contracts that can be avoided, with the potential effect of reducing the number of      litigated service and support contract disputes between the Department of the Navy and commercial service      providers. Finally, this thesis offers recommendations to Navy Contracting Officers and contracting activities      to help provide for more effective and efficient service and support contracting services within the      Department of the Navy.
