DOD IG: Higher Thresholds For DCAA Review Will Cost DOD Millions

摘要

The Pentagon's decision to halt Defense Contract Audit Agency reviews of lower-cost contracts will cost taxpayers nearly $250 million per year in lost potential return on investment, the Defense Department inspector general contends in a new report that has been strongly refuted by senior DOD officials. According to the Nov. 13 report, the IG claims that the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy shop failed to perform a business case analysis when it supported the DCAA request to revise internal guidance to DOD contracting officers.
