Download or read book National Defense written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO examined the pricing of a contract for the assembly of individual combat meal packages awarded by the Defense Personnel Support Center (DPSC). The contract was the first in a series of contracts awarded to the same firm for the assembly of the meal packages, called Meals-Ready-To-Eat (MRE). GAO found evidence that DPSC did not follow sound procurement practices in negotiating the contract. For example, it awarded a fixed-price contract even though the contractor was a newly formed division with no production history. DPSC deviated from the government's usual practice by agreeing to directly reimburse the contractor for leasehold improvements to a production facility, and it did not try to increase competition for the program by telling other contractors in the request for proposals that it was willing to directly reimburse for investments in facilities. In addition, DPSC did not follow all of the requirements of the Defense Acquisition Regulations (DAR) in preparing memorandum records of negotiations; the memoranda did not adequately demonstrate the reasonableness of the negotiated prices, the appropriateness of demands and concessions made in negotiations, or the extent to which the government's interests were protected. DPSC obtained a waiver from following the weighted profit guidelines, but the data supporting the basis for the waiver were incomplete. GAO believes that these poor procurement practices, coupled with audit data that should have been considered, led to acceptance of significantly overstated costs, an allowance of greater profit rate than permitted by the weighted guidelines, and direct payment to the contractor for leasehold improvements to an assembly building.

This Report, done at the request of the Chairman Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, Addresses DoD's use of the acts deterrent features. Specifically, GAO reviewed DoD's settlement of audit findings, interest charges on overpayments, and penalties assessed in addition, GAO reviewed DoD's management oversight of the settlement process.

Download or read book Defense Acquisitions Termination Costs are Generally Not a Compelling Reason to Continue Programs or Contracts That Otherwise Warrant Ending written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation's long-term fiscal imbalances will likely make DOD's 1.6 trillion planned investment in new weapon systems unsustainable. Thus, it is critical that DOD retains the flexibility to end programs and contracts when necessary and appropriate. Although the federal government generally has the legal right to terminate contracts for convenience, defense stakeholders have sometimes expressed concerns that it will cost more to terminate a contract than to complete it. To address this perception, GAO examined (1) how expected contract termination costs and other factors affect DOD decisions on whether to end programs and contracts; (2) the circumstances under which it would cost more to terminate a contract for convenience than to complete it; and (3) the options DOD has for retaining value or reducing costs, when DOD ends programs or contracts. To do this, GAO examined DOD data on terminated contracts over $100 million; reviewed laws, regulations, and guidance; and met with key DOD officials. GAO recommends that DOD review, and as needed amend, guidance on terminations across the military services and DOD agencies to ensure that termination guidance identifies the conditions under which it is appropriate to end programs or contracts, and provides knowledge needed to use terminations as an investment portfolio tool. DOD agreed.
