Nevels, Jeffrey Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Department of Administrative Sciences Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited This thesis is a limited determination of the most cost effective method of acquiring Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) cognizance initial outfitting material for new construction ships. The study is restricted to Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) required to support Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE) contained in the Hull, Mechanical, Electrical, Ordnance and Electronics (HMEO&E) Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL). Three alternative methods of procuring the material are analyzed for cost effectiveness: (1) the shipbuilder procures the material commercially, (2) the shipbuilder is allowed access to the Federal Supply System (FSS) and requisitions the material, (3) the Naval Supervising Agency (NSA) requisitions the material from the FSS in which case it becomes Government Furnished Material (GFM). Material availability using each of the alternatives is also examined. 2013-01-23T21:59:16Z 2013-01-23T21:59:16Z 1991-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/26416 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
