Evaluation of Defense Logistics Agency Contracts for Ventilators in Response to the Coronavirus Disease-2019 Outbreak

Abstract

The objective of this evaluation was to determine whether the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) properly contracted to acquire ventilators in response to the global coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, including how the DLA identified contract requirements and provided oversight of the time-phased delivery of ventilators. To determine whether the DLA properly acquired ventilators through its contracts, we evaluated whether the DLA acquired sufficient numbers of ventilators to meet demand, whether the DLA obtained the ventilators in a timely manner, and whether the ventilators met DLA customers expectations.
