GAO found that DOD generally complied with the reporting requirements that Congress had imposed on it. DOD took steps to ensure that the information it provided on 286, A-76 studies was complete and accurate. GAO determined that the information was generally consistent with data it had collected on other A-76 studies. However, because of historical weaknesses in DOD's database from which the data were obtained, GAO could not be sure of the data's accuracy. Overall, DOD reported that the A-76 studies generated a savings of about $290 million in fiscal year 1999. GAO's work showed the savings were being achieved, but limitations in DOD's baseline cost data made it difficult to determine precisely how much was being saved. In addition, DOD reported that 40 percent of the A-76 studies resulted in contracts with the private sector. At the same time, the report indicated that in 1999 only 23 percent of the studies resulted in outside-contracts. This was considerably lower than in previous years where contractors won the majority of the competitions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-20/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-20.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-20/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-20.pdf GAO-01-20 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-20 Letter Report GAO-01-20; DOD Competitive Sourcing: Results of A-76 Studies Over the; Cost effectiveness analysis Reporting requirements Privatization Defense procurement Comparative analysis Department of Defense contractors DOD Commercial Activities Management Information System OMB Circular A-76 Program Public Law 106-79
