Cost Comparability Handbook

Abstract

The purpose of this handbook is to provide standardized procedures and techniques to insure cost comparability during consolidation studies and when competing depot maintenance workloads between DOD components (public/public) and between organic (DOD) sources and the private sector (public/private). There are some differences in accounting for costs between the DoD Services (hereafter called Service(s)) and even between different locations within the same Service. These variances are a result of the managerial and organizational philosophy of the respective Service. These differences as covered in Appendix A must be addressed in order to "level the playing field" before workloads can be compared or competed between Services and private industry.
