Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Air Force's selection of a source of repair for depot maintenance work at the closing Sacramento Air Logistics Center (ALC), focusing on whether the: (1) Air Force's procedures for conducting the Sacramento competition provided substantially equal opportunity for the public and private offerors to compete for the work without regard to performance location; (2) procedures for conducting the competition were in compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2469a and other applicable laws and regulations; (3) appropriate consideration was given to factors other than cost; and (4) award resulted in the lowest total cost to the Department of Defense (DOD) for performance of the work.<p/>GAO noted that: (1) the Air Force's competition for work at the Sacramento ALC showed that: (a) the competition procedures provided an equal opportunity for public and private competitors without regard to where the work could be performed; (b) the procedures did not appear to deviate in any material respect from applicable laws and regulations; (c) the Air Force appropriately considered factors other than cost in the selection; and (d) within the framework set forth for the competition, the award resulted in the lowest total cost to DOD for performance of the work; and (2) GAO also identified several issues that may be useful for the Air Force to consider in future competitions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-124/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-124.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-124/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-124.pdf GAO/NSIAD-99-124 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-99-124 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-99-124; Public-Private Competitions: Reasonable Processes Used for; Base closures Military downsizing Privatization Cost effectiveness analysis Defense economic analysis Air Force procurement Aircraft maintenance Maintenance services contracts Title 10 Section 2306 Title 10 Section 2461 Title 10 Section 2462 Title 10 Section 2466 Title 10 Section 2469a Title 10 Section 2469 Title 10 Section 2470 Title 10 Section 6 10 U.S.C. 2306 10 U.S.C. 2461 10 U.S.C. 2462 10 U.S.C. 2466 10 U.S.C. 2469a 10 U.S.C. 2469 10 U.S.C. 2470 10 U.S.C. 6 Title 31 Section 3551 31 U.S.C. 3551 Public Law 105-56 Public Law 105-85
