Audit Report. Dual Management of Commercially Available Items - Battery, Food Service, and Photographic Products
Abstract
The audit was requested by the Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Materiel and Distribution Management). It is the second in a series of reports on dual management of commercially available items that discusses Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) managed items in 17 Federal supply classes (FSCs) for battery, food service, and photographic products. DLA managed 51,754 national stock numbered items in the 17 FSCs. For the 7-month period ended April 1997, DLA reported sales of approximately $56.2 million and inventory of $38.2 million for those FSCs. Audit Objectives. The audit objectives were to determine the extent of products available through non-Defense Federal organizations for which DoD also operates central procurement programs and to evaluate whether the DoD programs are providing services without added benefit to DoD. The specific objective of this report was to determine the extent of DLA managed items in FSCs for battery, food service, and photographic products that were procured also by the General Services Administration (GSA). Subsequent reports will determine the extent of additional commodities available through non-Defense Federal organizations for which DoD also operates - centralized procurement programs. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program applicable to the stated objectives.
