In fiscal year 2008, the DOD obligated $200 billion on services contracts, including $42 billion for professional and management services. GAO previously identified weaknesses in DOD's management and oversight of services contracts, contributing to DOD contract management being on GAO's high-risk list. For selected professional and management support contracts, GAO was asked to examine (1) the extent to which DOD considered the risks of contractors closely supporting inherently governmental functions at key decision points, (2) how DOD implemented performance-based practices, (3) the extent to which DOD designated trained surveillance personnel, and (4) whether a new review process may improve DOD's management of such contracts. GAO reviewed federal regulations, agency policies and guidance, and analyzed seven acquisitions approved from 2004 to 2007 and 64 related task orders for services.

In FY 2008, the DoD obligated over $200 billion on contracts for services, which accounted for more than half of its total contract obligations. Given the serious budget pressures facing the nation, it is critical that DoD obtain value when buying these services. Yet DoD does not always use sound practices when acquiring services, and the dep¿t. lacks sufficient people with the right skills to support its acquisitions. This report addresses challenges facing DoD in measuring the value from and risks associated with its contracting for services. Specifically it focuses on: (1) challenges DoD faces in following sound contract and contracting management practices; and (2) recent actions DoD has taken to improve its management of service contracting. Illustrations.

The DoD relies on contractors to perform myriad functions, which can offer benefits and flexibility for DoD. Reliance on contractors to support core missions, however, can place the government at risk of transferring government responsibilities to contractors. In April 2009, the Secretary of Defense announced his intent to reduce DoD's reliance on contractors. In 2008, the DoD was required compile an annual inventory of the number of contractor employees working and the functions and activities they performed. This report assessed: (1) the approaches DoD used to compile the FY 2009 inventories and how the approaches have changed; and (2) how the inventories have been reviewed and used to inform workforce decisions. A print on demand report.

"Why GAO Did This StudyDOD spends billions annually to maintain its weapon systems and, at times, uses long-term maintenance contracts with a potential period of performance of 5 years or more. These contracts can encourage contractors to invest in new facilities, equipment, and processes, but may hinder DOD's ability to incentivize contractors' performance and control costs, especially in the absence of a competitive environment or if DOD does not acquire access to technical data that can enable DOD to select an alternative maintenance provider.GAO was asked to evaluate (1) the extent to which DOD uses long-term maintenance contracts, (2) DOD's ability to select alternative maintenance providers, and (3) how these contracts have been structured to incentivize performance and manage cost. GAO reviewed a nongeneralizable sample of 10 long-term contracts to illustrate different maintenance approaches. GAO interviewed program officials and reviewed contract documentation. GAO also reviewed information on eight programs recently reviewed by DOD to determine how these programs addressed technical data needs.What GAO RecommendsGAO recommends that DOD collect information on the extent to which DOD uses long-term maintenance contracts and develop lessons learned regarding the use of incentives and cost-control tools. DOD concurred with each of the recommendations and"

"The Department of Defense (DOD) is the federal government's largest purchaser of contractor-provided services, obligating more than $207 billion on services contracts in fiscal year 2009. DOD contract management has been on GAO's high-risk list since 1992, in part because of continued weaknesses in DOD's management and oversight of contracts for services.The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 directed DOD to issue guidance providing for independent management reviews for services acquisitions. The Act required that the guidance provide a means to evaluate specific contracting issues and to address other issues, including identifying procedures for tracking recommendations and disseminating lessons learned.The Act also directed GAO to report on DOD's implementation of its guidance. GAO (1) assessed the extent to which DOD's guidance addressed the Act's requirements and how the guidance was implemented and (2) determined the status of actions taken by the military departments pursuant to DOD's guidance. GAO compared DOD's guidance with the Act's requirements; obtained data on the number of reviews conducted as of September 2009; and analyzed memoranda of 29 acquisitions..."
