<p>Since it's inception as a 1990s-era acquisition reform, alpha contracting has been a  collaborative effort utilized in a sole-source environment between government and  industry to streamline an acquisition from beginning to end. This work examines alpha  contracting from the three perspectives of the government contracting office, government  program office, and industry to provide comprehensive data resulting in best practices for  all participants at the Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM).  This study analyzes literature review, case studies, and the results of a survey that was  distributed to members of each of the three perspectives to identify attitudes toward using  alpha contracting, as well as the audience's perceptions of efficacy and self-efficacy.  Also, examined through this work are the benefits, challenges and risks to each of the  three perspectives. The recommendation from this project is to utilize the results of this  study to improve alpha contracting at RDECOM.
