GAO estimates that this computer acquisition program will cost about $600 million to $1 billion more than a one-system approach over its expected life of 20 years. GAO believes that the Air Force's approach is unnecessarily expensive and restricts com- petition on the largest computer acquisition ever attempted by the Government. GAO believes that the Air Force should can- cel its current request for proposals for this program. The Air Force should develop a simpler, more flexible request for proposals with functional performance requirements representing actual base-level operations and needs. 110774 372 7~i~-~ FGMSD-80-15 OCTOBER 26, 1979 RELEASED
