The purpose of our work was to determine how the procurement system operates at Mather, and to ascertain the adequacy of controls over the 'awar d - to . and performance of selected contractors. Because the General Accounting Office has decided to undertake major nationwide reviews in several of the areas we had selected for more detailed examination, we are curtailing this study and will continue our work in most of these areas as part of this nationwide review. However, we are furnishing you some observations on the work we have performed to date for your review and consideration. We would appreciate receiving your comments on our observations. The Air Force has a stated policy of contracting out functions not required to be performed by military or civilian Government personnel, with a goal of reducing operating costs.

We selected for detailed review at Mather the contract with Kass Management Services to provide full food service operations; ( 7 the contract with .ust Brothr , Inc., to provide repair parts for 2 motor vehicles and related equipment through an on-base contractor-4. _ operated parts store; and the contract just completed by Cook Building Mainte.ance Service to perform custodial services in various facilities on the base. GAO has undertaken major nationwide reviews that will cover the first two of the above contracts. The comments below, therefore, will be confined to the third contract listed above.
