Regarding “Editorial: Fixing the schedules,” the measure of success with the General Services Administration’s schedules program should not be the dollar volume of sales. Instead, it should be measured by customer satisfaction with the products and services provided by industry under the program. From a taxpayer's vantage point, I want to know more that my money is being spent wisely -- and I do not trust government officials to answer that question honestly. Of the $36 billion spent, what is the dollar volume representing satisfied clients?

I agree. DoD Acquisition costs the taxpayer money. But forcing DoD Managers to use them results in a monopoly mentality, long slow queues, and crummy service. GSA uses the word client to dexribe the people they support. DoD would do well to get out of the routine acquisition business and help GSA re-build to what it once was a few years back. The taxpayer would be best served by this.
