Specifically, you asked us to determine --whether the Army followed the policies and procedures outlined in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, --the sources of contract funding, and --whether the contractors have performed satisfactorily. We found that Fort Carson complied with the provisions of Circular A-76. However, Fort Carson officials were not aware of recently issued Department of Defense (DOD) guidelines and, therefore, did not perform certain actions called for by the guidelines in contracting for educational testing services. Funding for the contracts was generally obtained by trans- ferring unspent funds from in-house programs to commercial contracts. Also, contractors' performance generally has been satisfactory; however, the laundry contractors have occasion- ally had laundry returned for rework at no additional cost. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY Our objectives were to examine the Army's decision to contract out for laundry and educational testing services at Fort Carson and to obtain information on the sources of funding and contractor performance. We interviewed Army officials from Fort Carson and from the Omaha District of the Army Corps of Engineers. We also interviewed representatives of the American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1345, at Fort Carson. (942086)
