In the past two years, the Facility Management Division of the U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) has been implementing a Best Value System that is moving their Capital Investment Program from a management to a leadership structure.  

The MEDCOM is working to minimize management, transfer risk to the contractor, and use performance information to give a competitive advantage to contractors when selecting them to perform facility renovations and construction.  Currently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE,) on behalf of the MEDCOM has awarded several Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts with a pool of six contractors. 

The following research provides insight into a contractor’s implementation of a risk identification, planning and management program.  Their goal is to improve their performance and competitiveness within the MEDCOM’s new Best Value System.  The result provides a process for implementing the program within the contractor’s project delivery system and measures the outcome.
