Competitive Sourcing of Environmental Services in the Air Force How Far Can They Go

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the legal basis for the current ban on competitive sourcing of inherently governmental activities to determine whether and how far the Air Force can go to outsource environmental services. This policy is currently enshrined in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 which bans the competitive sourcing of inherently governmental functions. While subjecting federal government activities to private sector competition is appealing to the Bush Administration, the question arises as to whether federal officials will go too far.
