Depot Maintenance Action Needed to Avoid Exceeding Ceiling on Contract Workloads
Abstract
Section 2466 of title 10, United States Code, stipulates that not more than 50 percent of the funds made available in a fiscal year to a military department or defense agency for depot-level maintenance and repair may be used for work performed by private sector contractors. As amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, the statute requires the Department of Defense to submit two reports to the Congress annually on public and private sector depot maintenance and repair workloads. The first is to report on the percentage of funds associated with such workloads during the preceding 2 fiscal years. The second is to report projected expenditures for the current and for 4 succeeding fiscal years. As required by 10 U.S.C. 2466 (e) (3), we reviewed the Department's reports, which were submitted in February and April 2000, respectively on the percentage of depot maintenance funding. Accordingly, this report (1) provides information on the Department's compliance with the 50-50 requirement for fiscal years 1998 and 1999, (2) sets forth our views on the Department's progress in improving the quality of the workload data for the previous fiscal years, and (3) assesses the reasonableness of the Department's estimates of expenditures for fiscal years 2000 through 2004.
