Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal supply agencies purchase, stock, and distribute each year billions of dollars worth of products. In May 1976 the Office of Procurement Policy (OFPP) established a policy requiring Federal agencies to rely on commercial off-the-shelf products to satisfy their needs as opposed to products manufactured to meet Government specifications. They were also to rely on commercial distribution systems rather than stocking the products. It is an established Government policy to rely on the commercial marketplace for products and services, and interagency committees working with single commodity areas have achieved several benefits of the policy, including substantial cost reductions, an increase in supply sources, and improved product quality. The supply agencies recognize the potential savings and benefits of the policy, yet none has pursued them aggressively. Implementation is faltering so badly that successful achievement of policy objectives is doubtful. GAO found that: the Department of Defense's (DOD) implementation is fragmented; the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) continues to purchase, stock, and distribute low-demand value products, and its policies, procedures, practices, and methods are biased against the commercial products policy; the General Services Administration's (GSA) implementation has failed due to a lack of commitment and leadership from top management; and the Veterans Administration (VA) conducted a meaningless survey and concluded that its supply system complied with policy concepts.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 1320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined issues studied and recommendations made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, better known as the Grace Commission, to determine whether: (1) the issues and recommendations made on program management and cost control had merit; (2) legislation would be necessary to implement the recommendations; (3) implementation efforts were completely underway; and (4) the savings estimates were realistic. GAO found that many of the issues studied and recommendations made by the Commission had overall merit and that, while many have already been implemented by legislative or administrative action, many more require additional legislative action to be fully implemented. However, GAO questioned the accuracy of many of the associated savings estimates, found flaws in the methodology used to develop some of the estimates, and found that the description of the methodology used in some estimates was insufficient to allow an assessment of its validity. In most of the instances where GAO questioned the methodology used, it believed that the savings were overstated. GAO supported management improvement issues more frequently than policy-oriented issues; however, policy-oriented issues constitute a large portion of the total estimated savings. GAO does not support restructuring federal subsidy programs and fixing federal health care costs to a percentage of the gross national product, and it disagreed with selected aspects of recommendations to reduce civilian and military retirement benefits. GAO support was most extensive in the areas aimed at strengthening federal management systems, federal automatic data processing operations, federal credit and cash management efforts, and civilian procurement and property management activities. GAO has made similar or related recommendations in nearly half of the areas in which it agreed with the Commission. Additional legislative action would be necessary to fully implement approximately half of the recommendations analyzed.
