Lagomarsino House of Representatives Dear Mr. Lagomarsino: 119608 Subjects Contracting for Support Services and Competitive Procurement Practices at the Navy's Pacific. Missile Test Center, Point Mugu, California (GAO/PLRD-82-126) Your January 6, 1982, letter asked us to investigate on behalf of Federal employee union representatives, contract- ing practices at the Pacific Missile Test Center (PMTC), Point Mugu, California. It was alleged that the Navy had not complied with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 by fail- ing to make cost comparisons to determine whether performance of functions by contract or by Government employees was more econom- ical. It was further alleged that support service contracts had been awarded without following competitive bid procedures. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY Our objectives were to determine (1) whether cost comparison requirements of OMB Circular A-76 had been met in contracting for selected support services and (2) whether competitive procurement procedures had been followed in awarding selected support service contracts. We also reviewed the policies and procedures in OMB Circular A-76. We made our review essentially at PMTC. We reviewed con- tracts and management file documents, contract work statements, organization functional statements, and acquisition requests in support of proposed contract actions. We also analyzed work- load and personnel staffing statistics and related data for those functions under review. In addition, we reviewed Navy and installation policies and procedures relating to contract- ing out and competitive bid procedures. Discussions were held with Navy contracting, operations, and management officials. We also visited the facilities where the support service func- tions were performed. We made our review in accordance with our current Stand- ards for Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions. (942123)
