DTIC ADA404527: An A-76 Survival Guide

Under A-76 Department of Defense (DoD)-has outsourced functions to achieve cost-savings while providing a negotiated level of service. There have been many opinions over the years concerning whether the cost savings occur and if the government is given a level playing field to compete with the private sector. Whether those recriminations are true or not, the fact of the matter is outsourcing is here to stay. The bottom line is that when a commercial activity undergoes a study unless the study is canceled a less costly solution will be the result. This is not to say there are not growing pains with A-76 or that the competition and cost comparisons are a smooth journey. My intent is to provide information that might prove beneficial to organizations or installations undergoing A-76. The information containing lessons learned and good ideas should help organizations manage the process more effectively and help the government end up with a better product and competition. The issues that have already been worked and the solutions that organizations have been developed to deal with the issues need not be repeated. Hopefully, this document can provide some assistance to that end.
