Defense Depot Maintenance: Information on Public and Private Sector Workload Allocations

Abstract

Depot-level maintenance and repair of military weapons and equipment involve extensive shop facilities, specialized equipment, and highly skilled technical and engineering personnel. In recent years, the distinction between depot maintenance and lower levels of maintenance has become less pronounced. Public sector depot maintenance work is currently conducted in 22 major government-owned and government-operated maintenance depots and a number of other government-owned facilities ,including post-production software support activities, laboratories, and Army arsenals. According to DOD officials, private sector depot maintenance work is conducted by commercial contractors at about 1,100 contractor-owned and -operated facilities at various geographic locations.
