Public-Private Competitions: DoD's Additional Support for Combining Depot Workloads Contains Weaknesses.

Abstract

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 requires that we review the Department of Defense's (DOD) December 19, 1997 determinations and supporting rationale for combining certain depot-level maintenance and repair workloads. DOD determined that workloads now being performed at the closing San Antonio, Texas, and Sacramento, California, Air Force maintenance depots cannot be performed as logically and economically without combination. Our required report, issued on January 20, 1998, concluded that DOD'S determinations to combine workloads were not adequately supported On February 24, 1998, DOD provided additional support for the earlier determination to Congress and As you requested, we reviewed that additional material. This report addresses the reasons the Air Force believes it is more logical and economical to combine the workloads and our overall views on the rationale for DOD'S determinations and the information provided on February 24, 1998, to support this rationale.
