<p>This project investigates the viability of performing United States Air Forces Central (USAFCENT) government  purchase card (GPC) purchases by utilizing reachback services. The study analyzed FY 2011 data to include the  number of deployed contingency contracting officers (CCOs), GPC actions, and total contract actions at each  Expeditionary Contracting Squadron. Using this data, models were developed that showed potential reductions in  deployed CCOs if GPC actions were sent from USAFCENT area of responsibility to a stateside reachback cell.  The study provides recommendations based on the potential reductions of deployed CCOs. One such  recommendation is to stand up a test reachback cell. This cell will employ the recommended number of personnel  developed by the models in this project..
