Federal Productivity: DOD's Experience in Contracting out Commercially Available Activities

Abstract

This report responds to your request that we evaluate the implementation of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, "Performance of Commercial Activities." The report summarizes GAO's prior studies of A-76, discusses key implementation issues such as the program's potential cost savings, agencies' progress in attaining cost study goals, and how the process affects government employees and operations. The report was based in large part on the experience of the Department of Defense, the agency with the most experience in implementing A-76.
