Public-Private Partnerships for Depot-Level Maintenance
Abstract
Depot-level maintenance and repair entails repair, rebuilding, and major overhaul of weapon systems (e.g., ships, tanks, and aircraft), parts, assemblies, and subassemblies. It also includes limited manufacture of parts, technical support, modifications, testing, and reclamation as well as software maintenance. Each Military Service owns and operates an organic depot-level maintenance infrastructure, although a large amount of the workload is performed through agreements The Department of Defense (DoD) has 21 major depot-level maintenance activities (DMAs). The Department estimates that about $13.5 billion will be expended in Fiscal Year (FY) 1999 for organic and contract depot-level maintenance, using 66,500 DoD civilian and military personnel as well as several thousand private-sector firms. An estimated $8.1 billion of the $13.5 billion will be expended at organic DMAs. This report reviews public-private partnerships for depot-level maintenance and leases of DoD depot-level facilities. The Services have used a number of authorities to establish these public-private statutory and regulatory authorities.
