Defense Contractor Restructuring: Benefits to DOD and Contractors

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on seven defense contractor business combinations to determine whether the Department of Defense (DOD) is realizing savings as a result of such restructuring activities, focusing on: (1) the amount of restructuring savings expected by DOD from the seven business combinations; (2) the impact of selected restructuring activities on the contractors' cost of operations; and (3) whether savings could be traced to contract prices.
