M -- Survey on request for Information-public/private competitions for Defense Reutilization & Marketing Offices (DRMOs)

The Defense Logistics Agency initiated a public-private competition on October 9, 2001, targeting specific logistics functions at 61 Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices (DRMOs) field sites. These functions include inbound transportation, receiving, stowing and issuing property, outbound transportation, inventory accountability, and customer assistance. The competition is structured in accordance with the guidelines outlined in OMB Circular A-76, which governs cost comparisons between government and private sector performance. To support this initiative, market research was conducted to gather input and ideas relevant to the competition. Stakeholders and interested parties were encouraged to participate by completing a survey designed to collect feedback on the proposed public-private competition. The survey's timely completion was emphasized as a crucial part of the process, reflecting the agency’s commitment to transparency and stakeholder involvement in evaluating the logistical services at DRMOs.
