AMMUNITION INNOVATION
Iraqi soldiers cross a road during a training event at Camp Taji, Iraq, in March 2015. PM MAS, which provides direct-fire combat and training ammunition capabilities to warfighters across all of the services, won the David Packard Excellence in Acquisition Award for its innovative acquisition of nonstandard ammunition to augment the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq, and to support other conflicts in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.

staff to solicit a five-year contract ver- sion of a two-year offload—transfer to another agency for contract support— of the USAREUR Teater Mission Command IT contract, providing 284 contractors at a cost of $206 million. Tat effort saved countless man-hours by not having to process a two-year offload acquisition packet three times over that period. She also was part of efforts to cre- ate theater IT acquisition processes and an IT investment governance and man- agement program that was instrumental in saving her command nearly $6 million in IT procurements.
A joint program between the Army and the Marine Corps, JPO JLTV operates under the PEO for Combat Support and Combat Service Support. During engineering and manufacturing devel- opment, JPO JLTV allowed vendors to develop and test their own solutions to meet the requirements, to reduce pro- gram risk and to better understand the relationship between warfighter require- ments and program costs. Tis strategy gave warfighters an opportunity to see various designs with different levels of performance and cost and proved that
key performance parameters, key system attributes and most of the remaining requirements were achievable at or below the program’s average unit manufactur- ing cost. Te program office then used the cost and performance data from the competitive prototyping initiative to develop source selection criteria that better enabled industry to make cost- informed design decisions. Te resulting design decisions achieved significant long-run cost savings while
ensuring
full and open competition in future pro- duction contracts. It’s the third Packard Award in four years for JPO JLTV, which also received the award in 2015 and 2013.
Also among the year’s big winners was USSOCOM, which earned five individ- ual awards and two team awards. Te full list of awards and winners follows, with Army recipients highlighted.
