Contracting for Defense Finance and Accounting Service Support.

Abstract

This report is the third in a series involving contracting at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). This report addresses complaints to the Defense Hotline alleging numerous contracting violations from FYs 1989 through 1997 including lack of competition, failure to perform acquisition planning inadequate acquisition controls, and unqualified persons accomplishing acquisition tasks; all resulting in additional costs to DFAS. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Director, Defense Procurement established DFAS as a contracting organization on November 21, 1996, but it did not become functional until February 21, 1997. Prior to 1996, DFAS obtained contract support from other organizations. We reviewed 91 contracting actions valued at $330 million for the period covered by the complaints.
