Privatization of Military Utility Plants

Abstract

Successful privatization matches the needs of government with the capabilities of private industry. It is one technique for acquiring facilities and services, including those that meet the utility system requirements of military installations. As other acquisition techniques become harder to execute under shrinking budgets -- yet utility requirements continue -- privatization offers the opportunity to increase infrastructure investment, strengthen the industrial base, and improve government productivity. This paper recommends a systematic validation of all military utility deficiencies for privatization applications. All projects should be packaged to encourage the most industry interest. The result will be more cost-effective public services in a long-term partnership with the private sector.
