GAO believes that seven engines—T56, 501K, F108/CFM56, T63, T700, TF39, and LM2500—are excellent candidates for privatization. To determine the cost-effectiveness of privatization and comply with the statute regarding the transfer of depot maintenance workload to the private sector, those workloads would have to be subjected to a public-private competition. However, the recent decision to privatize-in-place the San Antonio Air Logistics Center—a depot where 60 percent of its workload is for engines and engine components—will greatly impact the cost-effectiveness of privatizing additional engine workloads. The TF39 aircraft engine and its ship propulsion version, the LM2500 engine, have high commonality in parts and repair processes. Currently, two military services operate separate repair facilities for these engines. This is the only remaining turbine engine that is overhauled in two different military depots. Further, three private repair activities reported interest and capability to repair the LM2500. All three are repairing the LM2500 for commercial industry. Combined, they reported having enough reserve capacity to perform almost six times the Navy’s projected fiscal year 1997 workload.
