GAO examined the Department of Defense's (DOD) depot maintenance program, focusing on whether the: (1) DOD depots should retain their engine repair capabilities; (2) opportunities exist to privatize additional engine repair workloads; and (3) excess capacity within the DOD depot system adversely affects privatization decisions. GAO found that: (1) DOD maintains its engine repair capability in the public depot system to comply with statutory requirements and to reduce the costs and readiness risks associated with private-sector repairs; (2) most companies have the capacity to absorb additional military workloads, but doing so would increase per-unit repair costs; (3) the decision to realign Kelly Air Force Base and to close the San Antonio Air Logistics Center allows DOD to reduce excess engine capacity, improve the cost-effectiveness of its remaining engine repair facilities, and privatize additional commercial counterpart engine work; and (4) the decision to keep the depot open by privatizing its workload will limit or preclude any reduction in excess depot capacity and associated overhead costs.
