Department of Defense Task Force for Business and Stability Operations' Business Improvement Support: Audit of Costs Incurred by Leidos, Inc.
Abstract
On September 12, 2013, the Department of Defense's (DOD) Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO), through the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), awarded a $6,665,279 task order to Science Application International Corporation (SAIC). On September 27, 2013, SAIC split, and Leidos, Inc. assumed responsibility for the task order. The task order's objective was to provide direct business improvement support to various lines of operation to include vendor and user training, program management, data analysis, and communication support services in the United States and Afghanistan. Williams Adley identified one significant weakness in Leidos's internal controls and two instances of noncompliance with the terms and conditions of the task order. These deficiencies resulted in two findings. Most notably, Williams Adley found that for two subcontracted awards, Leidos did not justify its decision to make sole-source awards. In addition, Leidos agreed to pay one subcontractor labor rates that were more than comparable market salaries.
