Description: The Task Force on Improvements to Services Contracting conducted an independent assessment of improvements in the procurement and oversight of services by DOD. The task force identified five key findings in its assessment, and four recommendations aimed at addressing each shortfall. The report warns that DOD at all levels must "recognize that 'one size does not fit all'," and that an "over-emphasis on compliance at the expense of creativity will not result in effective, efficient, or timely services contracting." It concludes that "action is urgently needed" to address its recommendations.
