Description: The SIGIR report, Iraq Reconstruction: Lessons in Contracting and Procurement, released in August 2006, examined the establishment and evolution of the contracting process to identify challenges in planning, systems, policies, and procedures. The report offers six recommendations for improving the U.S. government's capacity to support and execute contracting and procurement in contingency environments: 1. Explore the creation of an enhanced Contingency FAR (CFAR), 2. Pursue the institutionalization of special contracting programs, 3. Include contracting staff at all phases of planning for contingency operations, 4. Create a deployable reserve corps of contracting personnel who are trained to execute rapid relief and reconstruction contracting during contingency operations, 5. Develop and implement information systems for managing contracting and procurement in contingency operations, 6. Pre-compete and pre-qualify a diverse pool of contractors with expertise in specialized reconstruction areas.
