An audit was performed of the costs of performing four functions with in-house personnel, and by contract. The functions were: custodial services, laundry and drycleaning, and refuse collection at the U.S. Military Academy (USMA); and maintenance services at the Stewart Army Subpost (STAS). The maintenance services at STAS had been contracted out for over a year, and the other three functions at USMA were being contracted out after cost comparisions were made in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76.
