      Dear Mr. Chairman:

           Subject: LArmy's Contracting Out of Installation
                      Support Functions at Selfridge Air National
                      Guard Base, Mt. Clemens, Michigaj7(PSAD-80-79)

           This is our response to your June 11, 1980, request that
      we examine the Army's tentative decision to contract out the
      installation support functions at Selfridge Air National
      Guard Base (SANGB), Mt. Clemens, Michigan. As agreed with
      your office on June 18, 1980, our main emphasis would be to
      evaluate the cost comparison to see if it was done properly.

           The Army cost comparison for SANGB showed that it could
      save about $3.1 million over a 3-year period if the functions
      were contracted out as opposed to being done in-house. Our
      review disclosed a few discrepancies in the Army cost compari-
      son which increase the potential savings that could be real-
      ized through contracting out. We believe the potential sav-
      ings would be over $3.8 million. Our cost estimate, compared
      with that of the Army, is shown in enclosure I.

            Contracting out at SANGB would affect 146 civilian
       employees--127 full time and 19 part time. All the part-time
       employees and probably 12 of the full-time employees could
       become unemployed, with the remainder being absorbed by
       the local major Army agency. In the process of absorbing
       these employees, the Army agency would probably need to
       terminate the employment of another 16 full-time personnel.
       Thus, there is a potential for 28 full-time and 19 part-time
       people becoming unemployed. However, there would probably
       be no overall reduction in employment for the SANGB area

                                                         (950617)
