Navy Maintenance: Implementing the Commercial Industrial Services Program at San Diego

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Navy's management of the Commercial Industrial Services (CIS) program in San Diego, California, focusing on: (1) whether the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion, and Repair (SUPSHIP), San Diego, implemented the program in compliance with Navy policy and regulations and in a manner similar to other West Coast Navy activities; (2) whether Navy policy has changed to shift work from CIS contractors to master ship repair (MSR) contractors at a higher cost to the Navy; (3) how SUPSHIP, San Diego, viewed and prioritized the program in light of other work requirements; and (4) how San Diego CIS contractors viewed the Navy's management of the program.
