DOD Use of Multiple Award Task Order Contracts.

Abstract

This audit was requested by Senator Carl Levin. The Senator requested a review of multiple award contracts to determine whether DoD was spending money in a manner consistent with the statutory requirement, and whether this contract mechanism was used in the best interest of the Department. We identified 636 contracts awarded from FY 1995 through FY 1998, each having a value of at least $5 million. Our review covered 12 multiple contract mechanisms, consisting of 50 contracts and 156 orders, valued at $143.7 million. The maximum value of the contracts is $2.6 billion. The primary audit objective was to determine whether the use of multiple award task order contracts by DoD was consistent with statutory requirements and in the best interest of the Department. We also evaluated the management control programs as they applied to the objective.
