Summary:

The Defense Department (DOD) expects to realize large savings by contracting out many of its support functions to the private sector. As part of this effort, the military plans to contract out more of its $13 billion annual requirement for depot-level repair and maintenance of weapon systems and equipment. DOD also plans to streamline its contract management and oversight activities and rely more on competitive market forces to ensure product quality and reasonable prices. This report examines how DOD manages contracting for depot maintenance to determine the characteristics of that contracting and the implications of those characteristics for future depot maintenance contract management processes and procedures.
