Ammunition: Analysis of Selected Activities at the Army's Hawthorne Plant

Abstract

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed selected activities at the Hawthorne Army Ammunition Plant, which the Army converted to a contractor-operated plant, to assess: (1) the cost savings and personnel reductions expected from the conversion; (2) contractor performance problems after the conversion; (3) the Army's monitoring of contractor performance and costs; and (4) the procedures for deciding when to recompete and what to expect in future conversions.
