The Coast Guard (CG) is in the midst of the largest acquisition program in its history -- one that has experienced serious mgmt. and performance problems. The Deepwater program is intended to replace or modernize the CG¿s fleet of vessels, aircraft, and info. mgmt. capabilities. To carry out this acquisition, the CG contracted with a system integrator, Integrated CG Systems (ICGS). This report determines: how decisions are made regarding whether to purchase assets under the contract with ICGS or directly with another vendor; the costs and performance trade-offs, if any, assoc. with the CG¿s acquisition strategy for the Fast Response Cutter; and cost, schedule, and performance issues assoc. with changes to the Nat. Security Cutter. Illus.

"The Deepwater Program includes efforts to build or modernize ships and aircraft, including supporting capabilities. In 2007, the Coast Guard took over the systems integrator role from Integrated Coast Guard Systems (ICGS) and established a $24.2 billion program baseline which included schedule and performance parameters. Last year, GAO reported that Deepwater had exceeded cost and schedule parameters, and recommended a comprehensive study to assess the mix of assets needed in a cost-constrained environment given the approved baseline was no longer feasible. GAO assessed the (1) extent to which the program is exceeding the 2007 baseline and credibility of selected cost estimates and schedules; (2) execution, design, and testing of assets; and (3) Coast Guard's efforts to conduct a fleet mix analysis. GAO reviewed key Coast Guard documents and applied criteria from GAO's cost guide."
