The Evaluation of Appropriateness of OMB Circular A-76 Studies on Revenue-Generating Functions in Defense Working Capital Fund Activities

This thesis addresses the appropriateness of applying an OMB Circular A-76 study process on the revenue generating functions in Defense Working Capital Fund activities. While the thesis acknowledges that subjecting organizational functions to an A-76 process gains competitive efficiencies, the hypothesis is that a Working Capital Fund activity has already realized the efficiencies by competing for business; therefore, a process other than A-76 is more appropriate to gain further cost savings. The thesis examines the specific example of the Navy Supply Information Systems Activity (NAVSISA), which is a Fee-for-Service organization that specializes in providing informational technology products and services for U.S. Navy, DoD and Foreign Allies.
