Subject
Summary:

In recent years, Congress has expressed continuing interest in the Pentagon's management of its $15 billion depot maintenance program. One area of particular interest has been the allocation of depot maintenance workload between the public and private sectors, including various privatization initiatives. This report addresses the depot maintenance workload mix for an essential military commodity--gas turbine engines. GAO discusses (1) the rationale supporting the continued need for DOD to be able to repair engines at its own maintenance depots, (2) opportunities to privatize additional engine workloads, and (3) the impact that excess capacity within DOD's depot system has on the cost-effectiveness of decisions to privatize additional workloads.
