The commercial-type activities were unlike military depot maintenance in that they involved relatively simple, routine, and repetitive tasks that do not generally require large capital investment or highly skilled and trained personnel. As with this report, our September 2001 report on the Air Force ( 1 ) analyzed the differences between the cost-effectiveness estimates for proposed contractor-logistics-support approaches and actual implementation experience, ( 2 ) compared the performance of contractors and Air Force depots in terms of cost and responsiveness for the same or similar depot maintenance work, and ( 3 ) determined to what extent the Air Force had addressed concerns raised by major commands regarding the increased use of long-term contractor logistics support. Both reports contain similar findings and conclusions. For our report on the Air Force, we reported that it is impossible to determine whether the cost-effectiveness estimates for proposed contractor-logistics-support approaches are being attained during implementation because the Air Force does not have the data required to do so. Similarly, a comparison of the same or similar depot maintenance work performed by Air Force depots and contractors did not provide a sufficient basis for determining the more cost-effective option. We also reported that the Air Force has not fully addressed major commands ' concerns about the possible effects of the increased use of contractor logistics support. These concerns included potential impacts on funding flexibility, reductions in the ability to perform essential logistics management functions, reductions in the commands ' authority over contractors, and the unavailability of technical data. We made recommendations aimed at improving the Air Force's ability to assess the cost-effectiveness of contractor-logistics-support approaches and to address management
