Highlights
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the use of partnering arrangements between the Department of Defense (DOD) and private-sector contractors to use excess capacity at military service repair depots, focusing on the: (1) legal framework under which partnering can occur; and (2) types of current partnering arrangements and the services' and industry's views of such arrangements.
