Ship Repair Contracts at Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, Jacksonville, Florida.
Abstract
Introduction. This audit was requested by Senator Strom Thurmond, on behalf of a constituent, regarding four allegations that the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion and Repair, Jacksonville, Florida (SUPSHIPJAX), violated the Federal Acquisition Regulations when awarding ship repair contracts. Specifically, the allegations stated that SUPSHIPJAX did not allow a constituent an opportunity to respond to a negative performance evaluation. The negative evaluation effectively disbarred the constituent from competing on subsequent ship repair contracts in the Jacksonville area. The constituent also alleged that SUPSHIPJAX violated the Anti deficiency Act and paid for work not performed. This report addresses three allegations. The fourth allegation regarding payment for work not performed is still being reviewed. Objectives. The overall audit objective was to determine whether SUPSHIPJAX complied with the applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation and the Antideficiency Act when acquiring ship repair services. We also reviewed the management control program as it applied to the audit objective. Results. SUPSHIPJAX complied with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations in its evaluation of the constituent's performance. The allegations addressed in the audit report were unsubstantiated. Management controls were adequate as they applied to the audit objective. Management Comments. We provided a draft of this report on October 19, 1998. Because this report contains no recommendations, written comments were not required, and none were received. Therefore, we are publishing this report in final form.
