Our specific objectives were to (1) determine what impact the Fund has had at the customer and provider level and (2) identify problems managers at this level were having with DBOF implementation. Because of your interest in DBOF issues, you asked that we summarize and report the results of our work. This correspondence responds to your request. BACKGROUND On October 1, 1991, DOD consolidated nine industrial and stock funds into a single revolving fund called DBOF.' At that time, DOD said that DBOF would improve cost awareness within the Department and give managers more flexibility in making business decisions. Under this concept, the industrial and stock fund managers (providers) would identify and charge military customers the full cost of providing goods and services. While the providers always charged customers for the cost of doing business, some of these costs have traditionally been funded through direct appropriations and not passed on to customers. 1DBOF also includes the following defense agencies businesses: Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Defense Commissary Agency, Defense Technical Information Center, Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service, and Defense Industrial Plant Equipment Center.
