Navy Hazardous Substance Mangement System Contract.
Abstract
Introduction. The audit was performed in response to allegations to the Defense Hotline concerning inappropriate contractor actions on the Navy Hazardous Substance Management System (HSMS) Engineering and Technical Support Services contract. The complainant alleged that the HSMS implementation contractor entered inaccurate data into the HSMS master database, did not comply with occupational safety and health regulations, and inappropriately charged labor costs to the contract. HSMS is a "cradle-to-grave" tracking system for hazardous materials that satisfies Federal and State environmental reporting requirements. HSMS implementation delivery orders issued between February 1995 and February 1998 totaled $11.5 million. Audit Objectives. The audit objective was to determine whether the terms of the Engineering and Technical Support Services contract (N00600-95-D-0290) were being properly executed. We also determined whether applicable safety and environmental guidance was implemented. See Appendix A for a discussion of the audit process. Audit Results. The allegation to the Defense Hotline that the contractor entered inaccurate data into the HSMS database was substantiated. However, Naval Supply Systems Command officials were aware of the problem and were taking corrective actions. The allegation that the contractor did not comply with occupational safety and health regulations was partially substantiated. The allegation that the contractor inappropriately charged labor costs to the contract was not substantiated. See Appendix B for a discussion of the allegations to the Defense Hotline.
