19 ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number)
This research assessed the feasibility of consolidating the major
DoD components' contracting organizations in Hawaii. Six primary factors
were used in this analysis: the DoD environment, mission support, person-
nel costs, administration costs, procurement automation systems, and the
vendor base.
This assessment indicates that the DoD component contracting organi-
zations in Hawaii should be consolidated. Consolidation will result in
the unification of procurement expertise under one central organization.
This pooling of expertise will result in improved efficiency and effective-
ness created by the synergism among the procurement specialists.

ABSTRACT
This research assessed the feasibility of consolidating
the major DoD components' contracting organizations in Hawaii.
Six primary factors were used in this analysis: the DoD
environment, mission support, personnel costs, administration
costs, procurement automation systems, and the vendor base.
This assessment indicates that the DoD component
contracting organizations in Hawaii should be consolidated.
Consolidation will result in the unification of procurement
expertise under one central organization. This pooling of
expertise will result in improved efficiency and effectiveness
created by the synergism among the procurement specialists.
The larger organization will be able to set up centers of
excellence, institute upward mobility and trainee positions,
have backup personnel for critical positions, and better
maintain corporate knowledge. This study recommends that an
analysis be conducted to determine the optimum organizational
structure and the development of an effective implementation
plan.
