Analysis of Recommendations Concerning Contracting in Afghanistan, as Mandated by Section 1219 of the Fiscal Year 2011 NDAA

Abstract

DOD, State, and USAID rely heavily on contractors to support their respective missions in Afghanistan. These services include transportation, security, reconstruction and development, and logistical services. According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), agencies reported obligating more than $17.2 billion for fiscal year 2009 and the first half of fiscal year 2010, for more than 61,700 active contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. Section 1219 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2011 requires the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), in consultation with the Inspectors General (IGs) of the Department of Defense(DOD), Department of State (State), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to report on the oversight of contractors in Afghanistan. In addition, Section 1219 requires SIGAR to report on plans for reducing the reliance of the United States on private security contractors (PSCs) in Afghanistan.
