In response to the mandate, and as agreed with committee staff, we reviewed 30 contracts associated with the largest fiscal year 1999 obligations for advisory and assistance and other services and described these services obtained by the Office of the Secretary of Defense; the Secretariats of the Air Force, the Navy, and the Army; and Headquarters, Defense Logistics Agency. About $36 million was obligated for these contract services. Enclosure 1 describes the services obtained and provides general information on each of the 30 contracts, including the contractor, amount obligated, the performance period funded by this amount, and examples of services provided. AGENCY COMMENTS DOD provided written comments and agreed with the information in this report. DOD's comments are reprinted in enclosure 2. As provided for in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-11, advisory and assistance services are (1) management and professional support services that provide for the efficient and effective management and operations of DOD organizations; (2) studies, analyses, and evaluations that provide analytical assessments of complex issues to improve policy development, decision-making, management, or administration; and (3) engineering and technical services that are necessary to maintain and operate fielded weapon systems, equipment, and components. Other services are defined as services that cannot be classified as either advisory and assistance services or any of the other service categories, including research and development contracts; operation and maintenance of facilities and equipment; purchases of goods and services from government accounts; medical care; and subsistence and support of persons.
