DoD Procurement: Millions in Overpayments Returned by DOD Contractors
Abstract
In August 1988, the Defense Logistics Agency established a finance center in Columbus, Ohio, to consolidate contract payments and other functions previously performed at 20 agency sites. In January 1991, the agency's finance operations at Columbus became part of DFAS, a consolidated DOD finance and accounting function under the DOD Comptroller. The Defense Logistics Agency continues to provide contract administration services to DOD and other agencies through five geographically dispersed Defense Contract Management Command (DCMC) districts. A computer-based system, Mechanization of Contract Administration Services (MOCAS), is used in the DFAS Columbus Center to manage and pay contracts administered by DCMC. The MOCAS system, in use since 1968, is designed to allow contract administrators and finance personnel to monitor the status of funds, deliveries, and other contract actions required through contract closeout. As of September 30, 1993, MOCAS had about 373,000 active contracts with payments totaling about $64 billion in fiscal year 1993.
