Highlights

A review of proposed contracting of sanitation and supply services at the Air Force Academy Cadet Dining Hall was conducted in response to concerns about possible job losses, validity of cost analysis, and the quality of contract services. The Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 established the policy that Federal agencies shall rely on private enterprise for commercial products and services unless in-house services are justified. When justified because of lower costs, in-house services must be supported by periodic cost analyses.

Recommendations
