Summary:

A GAO review of the Air Force's selection of a source of repair for depot maintenance work at the closing Sacramento Air Logistics Center found that (1) the competition procedures provided an equal opportunity for public and private competitors without regard to where the work could be done; (2) the procedures did not appear to deviate in any material respect from applicable laws and regulations; (3) the Air Force appropriately considered factors other than cost in the selection; and (4) within the framework set forth for the competition, the award resulted in the lowest total cost to the Defense Department for the work done. GAO identifies several issues that may be useful for the Air Force to consider in future competitions.
