Hello, and welcome to this episode of DCMA's Roundup.

3
00:00:11,050 --> 00:00:12,748
My name is Thomas Perry.

4
00:00:13,228 --> 00:00:15,726
As the agency's global network of acquisition professionals

5
00:00:15,726 --> 00:00:18,490
prepare to celebrate the holidays, we would like to take

6
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:21,232
a few minutes to celebrate their stories that demonstrate

7
00:00:21,232 --> 00:00:23,824
the agency's continued pursuit of excellence.

8
00:00:24,288 --> 00:00:27,427
At the Pentagon, DCMA Lockheed Martin Sunnyvale's E.J. Belliveau

9
00:00:27,427 --> 00:00:30,069
was awarded a Secretary of Defense Award for Outstanding

10
00:00:30,069 --> 00:00:33,587
DoD Service Members and Civilian Employees, during the 35th Annual

11
00:00:33,587 --> 00:00:36,535
Disability Awards Ceremony. The agency's EEO director

12
00:00:36,535 --> 00:00:39,279
spoke to the important role Belliveau and other disabled

13
00:00:39,279 --> 00:00:41,001
team members play within the agency.

14
00:00:41,239 --> 00:00:46,937
Diversity is imperative to the success of the agency's global mission.

15
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:49,613
Perry: Celebrating a historic accomplishment, DCMA

16
00:00:49,613 --> 00:00:52,995
Sikorsky Aircraft delivered its 1,000th Blackhawk helicopter

17
00:00:52,995 --> 00:00:55,823
to the Army, in October. The agency's Sikorsky commander,

18
00:00:55,823 --> 00:00:58,585
Marine Colonel Jack Perrin, praised his people calling them,

19
00:00:58,585 --> 00:01:01,736
"a motivated, highly professional team that makes it their mission

20
00:01:01,736 --> 00:01:04,247
to provide the Army with the best product in the world."

21
00:01:04,981 --> 00:01:07,540
In our communities, 90 percent of homes and local businesses

22
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:10,629
in Denham Springs, La., were severely damaged during

23
00:01:10,629 --> 00:01:13,707
a historic flood in August. DCMA's Misty Kadow was

24
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:16,644
fulfilling her Texas Air National Guard commitments when she

25
00:01:16,644 --> 00:01:19,822
decided to take action. She rallied family and friends to help

26
00:01:19,822 --> 00:01:22,356
the community by gutting several of the damaged homes.

27
00:01:22,356 --> 00:01:25,087
They also gathered donations and provided water

28
00:01:25,087 --> 00:01:26,051
to those in need.

29
00:01:26,378 --> 00:01:28,864
As the new fiscal year begins, the agency's Garden City

30
00:01:28,864 --> 00:01:31,559
New York's Contracts group spearheaded an effort to reduce

31
00:01:31,559 --> 00:01:35,547
over-aged contracts and improve contract close-out actions,

32
00:01:35,547 --> 00:01:38,706
surpassing its fiscal year 2016 goals.

33
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:43,137
Within 180 days, the CMO reduced the number and dollar amount

34
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:47,661
of cost-type contracts, reduced firm-/fixed-price over-aged contracts,

35
00:01:47,661 --> 00:01:51,024
and closed 100 percent of new cost-type contracts.

36
00:01:51,834 --> 00:01:54,619
