Subcommittee on Government Procurement Select Committee on Small Business United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairmant In your letter of March 27, 1974, you requested our Office review the plans of the Deoartment of Defense to study the feasibility of unifying all support services at military installations in a single contraot. You expressed concern that the implementation of such a plan would result in the elimination oi a vast numuer of contractual opportunities now available for small business. In January 1974, we established liaison with the Deoartment of Defense project manager for Project Contracting Out. We were briefed by Office of Management and Budget personnel and by the project manager as to the status of the Department of Defense study. At that time, there were plans to issue a memorandum to the individual services which would require that each service recommend a minimum of two installations for operation by contractors. These recommcndations were to Ie furnished to the Department of Defense no later than JaTuary 1975. Upon receiving your request, we met with a member of the Subco=ittee staff and advised him of our earlier contacts with the Department's project manager. We agreed to obtain up-to-date information on the Department of Defense plans, the timetable involved, the response of the services to any Plans formulated and the installations beinA con- sidered or selected ior contracting out of base operations. The following information, discussed with members of your Subcommittee staff, summarizes the results of our review. In our first meeting with the project manager subsequent to your inquiry, he indicated that the increased interest in the project had slowed considerably the processing of the memorandum referred to in our earlier meeting. We were advised that there were serious objections to the memorandum as drafted and, for this reason, he did not believe it appropriate to release a copy to our Office until these internal issues were resolved.
