F-100 Engine Replacement Parts.

Abstract

The House Committee on Armed Services, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations (presently the House Committee on National Security), requested this audit. The Committee received an allegation that Air Force contracting personnel were appropriately directing contracts for F-100 aircraft engine replacement parts to the original equipment manufacturer (Pratt and Whitney), which would result in increased prices to the Government. The Air Force procurement is valued at $351 million, of which $151 million was awarded in FY 1994. The Air Force plans to procure additional replacement parts in FYs 1995 and 1996, at an estimated valued of $200 million. The objective of this audit was to evaluate the Air Force procurement of F-100 engine replacement parts and the validity of the allegation. We also evaluated the effectiveness of applicable internal controls.
