Procurement of Support Services by the Air Force Electronic Systems Center, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts
Abstract
This report is the first in a series of reports being issued in conjunction with the statutorily required annual audit of contracted advisory and assistance services. The Air Force Electronic Systems Center, Air Force Materiel Command, Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, develops and acquires command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence systems. The workforce consists of DoD organic (civilian and military), and contractor personnel. The Electronic Systems Center obtains contractor support by issuing multiple technical engineering and management support contracts. Since FY 1984, the Electronic Systems Center has contracted for services totaling $772 million. Labor hours for contractor employees acquired under technical engineering and management support contracts have increased from $68.4 million in FY 1984 to $371 million in FY 1993. The objectives of the overall audit of contracted advisory and assistance services were to evaluate progress DoD has made to establish effective management controls and to improve the accuracy and completeness of information reported on contracted advisory and assistance services contracts. We also evaluated the extent to which contracted advisory and assistance services contracts have been used by the Military Departments to compensate for DoD staffing shortages. This report addresses the second audit objective as it applies to the Electronic Systems Center. A summary report will address both audit objectives as they apply to all of the Military Departments. We reviewed the adequacy of internal controls and management's implementation of the DoD Internal Management Control Program as they applied to the audit objectives.
