Navy Depot Maintenance: Privatizing Louisville Operations in Place Is Not Cost-Effective

Abstract

As requested, we are providing a follow-up to our September 1996 report on the Navy's preliminary cost comparison of privatizing-in-place maintenance workloads at its Louisville, Kentucky, depot with transferring the workloads to other Navy facilities. This report provides the results of our review of the Navy's final cost analysis and early contractor cost data through May 1997. Our objectives were (1) to determine whether privatizing the depot maintenance workload in place at Louisville is more cost-effective than transferring the workload to other DOD facilities and (2) to review the practicability of transferring the Louisville workload to other defense commercial contractor facilities.
