Navy Maintenance: Assessment of the Public and Private Shipyard
Competition Program (Letter Report, 05/25/94, GAO/NSIAD-94-184).

Competition between public and private shipyards has been the subject of
considerable debate during the past 10 years. Legislation enacted since
1985 has tried to increase competition between the two sectors for
defense maintenance work and ensure that the competitions are fair to
both sectors. This report assesses the results of these competitions and
analyzes related issues, such as the costs included in competitive bids
and factors considered in the bid evaluation process.  GAO also includes
background information on the Navy's public-private competition programs
for surface ships and submarine repair.
