SEC. 1155. REPORT ON FOOD SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION PRACTICES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. (a) FINDINGS. —The Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Defense Personnel Support Center, a component of the Defense Logistics Agency, purchases more than 90 percent of the food supplied to military end-users, including dining halls, hospitals, and other facilities that feed troops. (2) Semiperishable items, such as canned goods, are stored in four depots of the Defense Logistics Agency, and perishable items, including fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, and meats, are stored in 21 contractor-operated Defense Subsistence Offices. (3) Private sector end-users, including independent restaurants, hospitals, and hotels, obtain food through direct delivery from commercial distributors of food. (4) In a comprehensive inventory reduction plan issued in May 1990, the Secretary of Defense concluded that there was no benefit to using the food supply system of the Department of Defense in circumstances in which the food requirements of the Department could be met through the use of commercial distributors of food. (5) In a report published in June 1993, the General Accounting Office determined that the Department of Defense could achieve substantial cost savings by expanding the use of commercial distributors of food and related commercial practices in the food supply system of the Department.
