We identified specific examples of these various services during recent visits at military
installations in the central and northern California area. For example, at the Presidio of
Monterey, an Army installation providing support services to the Defense Language Institute
and the Ord Military Community, the Army contracts for base operations support, grounds
maintenance, custodial services, and dining facilities services, among other contracts (Auernig,
2006).
At Travis Air Force Base, a major Air Mobility Command (AMC) base, these same types
of services are procured, as well as several mission-unique services such as transient alert
services for the flight line operations, passenger screening for the airfield passenger terminal,
and falconry services in support of the Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) program. In addition,
Travis AFB also provides contracting support to the David Grant Medical USAF Center. In this
capacity, Travis AFB procures various medical services such as medical transcription, nurse
services, blood testing, registered nurse staffing, and medical coding services (60 th CONS,
2006).
