Analysis Of Benefits Realized From Multiyear

Contracting ForJfe Black Hawk Helicopter




In 1982, the Congress authorized a $950
million 3-year multiyear contract for 294
Black Hawk helicopters. The Army estimated
that such an arrangement would save about
$81.1 million, or 7.9 percent, compared
with three successive annual contracts for
the same number of helicopters. GAO's
analysis indicated an estimated budgetary
savings to the Army of $73.9 million, with a
net discounted savings to the government of
about $36.6 million, or about 4.6 percent.
GAO's estimate of net savings takes into
account the cost of providing funds earlier
under the multiyear contract. In addition,
revenue to the U.S. Treasury may be reduced
because of the tax implications of a mul-
tiyear contract.
Neither the Army nor the contractor had
evidence that the Black Hawk multiyear
contract significantly enhanced the defense
industrial base, another anticipated benefit
of multiyear contracting.
