Coast Guard: Coastal Buoy Tender Acquisition Project Did Not Follow Federal Guidelines

Abstract

The Coast Guard is planning to spend $26 million in fiscal year 1993 and a total of more than $200 million over the next 6 years to replace its fleet of 11 coastal buoy tenders. These vessels are primarily used to service short-range aids to navigation (SRA), such as buoys and lights, in coastal areas. This report responds to your request of September 4,1991, that we determine whether the Coast Guards acquisition program for coastal buoy tender replacements has been justified and conducted according to federal, Department of Transportation, and Coast Guard regulations governing major system acquisitions.
