Defense Depot Maintenance: DOD Shifting More Workload for New Weapon Systems to the Private Sector

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) has a policy calling for greater reliance on the private sector for maintenance of its weapon systems. This policy includes a preference for contractors to provide total logistics support for new weapon systems within the limits of existing legislative requirements. As requested, this report addresses (1) DOD's policy and implementation plans for allocating depot-repair workloads for new and upgraded weapon systems between the public and private sectors and (2) the process it uses to make source-of-repair decisions.
