Incomplete Contract Files for Southwest Asia Task Orders on the Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support Contract

摘要

Our audit objective was to determine whether Army officials adhered to Federal and DoD policies for subcontracting in a contingency environment while administering the Warfighter Field Operations Customer Support (FOCUS) contract, valued at approximately $3.7 billion. This is the first in a series of audits relating to the Warfighter FOCUS contract. Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) contracting officials lacked required documentation, such as prenegotiation objective memoranda and price negotiation memoranda, essential to providing accountability and transparency in the Warfighter FOCUS contract files. PEO STRI contracting officials did not implement internal controls that required procuring contracting officers to maintain a complete history of the contract as a basis for making informed decisions during the acquisition process and did not have internal controls that required centralized and integrated program and contract files. As a result, we were unable to perform an audit on subcontracting related to work in a contingency environment for this contract. Additionally, we were unable to verify that PEO STRI contracting personnel negotiated a reasonable price for approximately $94.3 million in acquired supplies and services supporting the following three training efforts awarded on task orders 022 and 122 of the Warfighter FOCUS contract: High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle new equipment training-Afghanistan training effort, task order numbers 022 and 122; Mine resistent ambush protected expedient armor program training effort, task order number 022; and Iraq training and advisory mission training effort, task order number 022.
