Base Audiovisual Service Center Contract Conversions: A Follow-Up Cost Effectiveness Study.
Abstract
HQ MAC/XPPV requested a study to evaluate the first year cost effectiveness of MAC base audiovisual service centers which converted to contract operations in FY-80. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the initial year of contract base audiovisual services to determine if they had been as cost-effective as initially projected under the OMB Circular A-76 criteria. This was accomplished by a series of cost comparisons using OMB Circular A-76 criteria on the following bases: Travis, McChord, McGuire and Pope AFBs. Along with the cost comparisons, a benefit analysis was accomplished using two methods. First, a comparison of the acceptable quality level specified in the statement of work against the contractor's performance. Second, interviews were conducted with prime users of audiovisual services to determine their level of satisfaction of contractor performance. A benefit cost analysis was performed using the cost comparisons and the benefit analysis. The authors concluded that the conversions of the audiovisual service centers to contract had been cost-effective under the criteria of OMB Circular A-76, but that the overall quality of the services and products provided was acceptable in only three of the four bases.
