     The Honorable Charles E. Bennett

     House of Representatives              RELEASED

     Dear Mr. Bennett:

          Subject: jContracting Out Vehicle Maintenance
                    and Operations Functions at U.S. Naval
                    Station, Mayport, Floridal(MASAD-81-8)

          In response to your letters of May 14, May 23, and
     June 25, 1980, we reviewed the cost comparison that was used
     by the Navy to justify its decision to convert in-house
     vehicle maintenance and operations functions at the U.S.
     Naval Station, Mayport, Florida, to contractor performance.

          We provided you with a written response to several of
     your specific concerns (see enc. I) and a briefing on the
     progress of our other work on June 25, 1980. We informed
     you that we had some significant open questions about the
     comparison because, in part, the Naval Station could not
     support some of the cost data used.

          When it became apparent that our open questions would
     not be readily resolved, we again met with you on June 30,
     1980, and proposed several courses of action that could be
     taken before Government employee reduction-in-force actions
     became effective on July 25, 1980. Contractor performance
     had started on June 29, 1980, under the contract that had
     been awarded on May 12, 1980. The information we had by
     then strongly indicated that in-house performance was less
     costly and that the Navy should reexamine its contracting-
     out decision. The proposal you accepted was for us to meet
     with appropriate Navy officials in your office that same day
     and convey our concerns to them.

          The Navy officials met with us and agreed to respond to
     you by July 25, 1980. Also, we understood from that meeting
     that although you did not expect any further reporting from


                                                         (950613)
