Air Force Information Publishing Service 902-S Procurement Program

摘要

This audit was conducted in response to information received from the Air Force Audit Agency and Congressman Charles Rose, Chairman, Joint Committee on Printing. The information expressed concerns regarding acquisition planning, management, and oversight of the Air Force Information Publishing Service procurement to modernize publishing and information management. To achieve this modernization goal, the Air Force established, with the assistance of the Government Printing Office, a firm-fixed-price, requirements, indefinite- delivery request for proposal with economic price adjustments known as the 902- S. The Air Force estimated the life-cycle cost for the 902-S procurement at more than $1 billion. The procurement was to include publishing and printing of administrative documents and technical manuals (computer-aided logistics support (CALS) documents) and Federal information processing equipment, software, and support services. Effective April 6, 1992, DoD consolidated all printing under the Defense Printing Service.
