The report reviews the Defense Department's (DOD) decision to pursue privatization-in-place at two major Air Force maintenance depots slated for closure as part of the 1995 base realignment and closure process. Specifically, GAO reviews the Air Force's plans to privatize-in-place depot maintenance workloads at the Sacramento and San Antonio air logistics centers. GAO discusses (1) the impact on excess depot capacity and operating costs at the remaining defense depots; (2) the cost-effectiveness of the planned privatization initiatives, including the impact of delaying base closures until 2001; and (3) compliance with statutory requirements. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-13/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-13.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-13/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-13.pdf GAO/NSIAD-97-13 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-97-13 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-97-13; Air Force Depot Maintenance: Privatization-in-Place Plans Are Costly While Excess Capacity Exists; Privatization Base closures Base realignments Cost effectiveness analysis Logistics Military downsizing Military cost control Equipment maintenance Aircraft maintenance Competitive procurement C-5 Aircraft 501K Engine A-10 Aircraft KC-135 Aircraft T-56 Engine T-700 Engine Title 10 Section 2464 Title 10 Section 2466 Title 10 Section 2469 10 U.S.C. 2464 10 U.S.C. 2466 10 U.S.C. 2469
