Initial Implementation of the Standard Procurement System

Abstract

The overall audit objective was to determine whether the Standard Procurement System achieves mission needs, including the reduction of problem disbursements; the replacement of legacy systems; and the provision of standard policies, processes, procedures, shareable data, and electronic commerce capability. The objectives also included reviewing the Standard Procurement System's capability to meet the goals of the Paper Free Contracting initiative. This report addresses the replacement of legacy systems and the provision of standard policies, processes, and procedures. The objective on the Paper Free Contracting Initiative was not addressed because, although the Standard Procurement System will be paper free, it will not be fully implemented until September 30, 2001, which is after the January 1, 2000, deadline for compliance with the Paper Free Contracting Initiative. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the overall audit objective. The remaining objectives will be addressed in a future project.
