Federal Productivity: DoD Functions with Savings Potential From Private Sector Cost Comparisons

Abstract

This fact sheet responds to your October 29, 1986, request that we provide information on specific government functions that would have the greatest potential for savings from implementation of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76. OMB Circular A-76, "Performance of Commercial Activities," is the executive branch policy that requires federal agencies to generally procure commercial products and services from private sector sources when a comparison of costs shows that the private sector can provide the same quality job at less cost than a government operation. Inherently governmental functions, such as federal law enforcement, must be performed by federal employees.
