| Summary |
DOD obligates hundreds of billions of dollars each year on service contracts. Despite some progress, DOD has faced challenges with managing service contracts. As such, law required that DOD refine processes to validate service requirements and begin forecasting budget needs across a 5-year period. This report assesses DOD's (1) trends in service contract obligations for fiscal years 2017-2022, (2) processes for validating service requirements, and (3) progress forecasting budget needs for service contracts over a 5-year period. GAO is making five recommendations, including that: the Air Force and Army update guidance to aggregate and review data on service requirements, and DOD specifies how to forecast budget needs for service contracts. |
