Edwards Commander, Oklahoma City Air1 (,LOO 113740 Logistics Center Dear General: Subject: LNoncompetitive Procurement of Aeronautical Spare Parts at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Cent,/ We have completed our survey of the noncompetitive procurement of aeronautical spare parts at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OCALC). The survey examined OCALC's breakout procedures for improving the competitive status of replenishment spare part buys. Although the information gathered in this survey will be used for planning future work, we feel that the assembly of reprocurement data packages warrants your attention now. We found that many noncompetitive purchases of high-dollar value replenishment spare parts can occur because data packages needed for competition are not assembled expeditiously. We are recommending that procedures be established to assure prompt assembly of complete repro- curement data packages so savings associated with competition can be realized at an early stage in the procurement history of these high-dollar value items. During fiscal year 1979, OCALC purchased about 7,000 parts which were coded for noncompetitive procurement because technical data was not available to assemble bid packages needed for competition. 1/ The annual dollar demand for the 7,000 parts totalled about $30 million. Our stratification 2/ of these 7,000 parts shows that 845 high-dollar value parts had an annual dollar demand of about $24 million. Thus, 12 percent of the parts represent 1/This includes those parts assigned procurement method suffix codes (PMSC) D (data not available) or H (available data not sufficient/legible). 2/The stratification was based on annual dollar demand.
