Should the Department of Defense Transfer the Defense Logistics Agency's Map Functions to the Defense Working Capital Fund

Abstract

Abstract : Currently the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) performs materiel management functions for map products. The functions cost about $25 million annually and are funded by operations and maintenance (O&M) dollars. This study analyzed if the functions should be transferred to the Defense Working Capital Fund (DWCF). Based on findings presented in this report, the study recommends that DLA map functions remain O&M-funded and outside the DWCF. However, if the Department of Defense (DoD) decides to transfer DLA map functions to the DWCF, the best option for cost recovery is to transfer O&M funding to the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and permit DLA to charge NIMA for its services. The next best option is to transfer O&M funding to the military services, Defense agencies, and NIMA (for non-DoD customers, including foreign customers) and permit DLA to bill each organization at a summary level. The least preferred option would be to transfer O&M funding to individual customers and permit DLA to bill them for the map products they receive.
