DTRA accomplishes its mission through a variety of means, including the acquisition of supplies, services, and technology development from our industry partners. The quality and timeliness of the contractual vehicles we award and administer, as well as your performance under those contracts, is vital to the Agency’s success.

As part of our continuous process improvement, we are asking you to assist us in improving our relationships and communications with our industry partners. This survey will provide us with valuable information about how we are doing, how we compare to other government organizations, and where we can improve. It will also help us focus specific “Industry Day” events so they are productive for the Agency and for our industry partners.

There are four sections to the survey: (1) DTRA Pre-Award Processes -- from identification of DTRA requirements through announcement of the award decision for contract or task order award; (2) DTRA Post-Award Practices and Processes – from award of a contract or task order through physical completion of the contract or task order; (3) Comparison of DTRA to Other Federal Government Organizations; and (4) Demographics (e.g. company size and type). Multiple choice questions make responding easy and quick. It should only take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the entire survey.

Your responses are completely confidential and anonymous. The survey is hosted by an application service provider, and only aggregated response information is provided to DTRA. Demographic data will be used for statistical analysis only. DTRA personnel will not see any individual responses. Safeguards have been built into the system to prevent the survey’s service provider contractor from identifying individual responders.

Thank you for making time to give us your input. I am certain that your input will help us improve our processes. A summary of the survey results will be made available on our DTRA Business Opportunities webpage at www.dtra.mil.
