Air Force Personnel Can Improve Compliance With the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act

Abstract

We determined whether Air Force personnel complied with the Berry Amendment (footnote 1) and the Buy American Act (footnote 2) when they purchased covered items such as food, clothing, tents, textiles, and hand or measuring tools. We performed this audit in response to Section 1601 of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2014. We reviewed a nonstatistical sample of 54 contracts, valued at $19.3 million, out of 510 contracts, valued at $45.4 million, that were awarded from October 1, 2013, through May 15, 2015.
