DOD Competitive Sourcing: A-76 Program Has Been Augmented by Broader Reinvention Options

Abstract

My comments today are based on work we have carried out in recent years tracking DOD's progress in implementing the A-76 program with the goal of saving billions of dollars that could be applied to other priority needs (see list of related GAO products at the end of this statement). In response to the questions you asked us to address, my testimony will (1) review the evolution of the A-76 program in DOD up to the present,(2) address the extent to which savings are being realized through the A-76 process, (3) identify some key issues we have raised about DOD's A-76 program as useful lessons for other agencies, and (4) provide an update of the commercial activities panel chaired by Comptroller General David Walker under Section 832 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001.
