Navy Acquisition of Air Membrane Dehydrators

Abstract

This audit was requested by Congressman Tom Allen, on behalf of a constituent, regarding two allegations that the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Refurbishment, and Repair, Newport News, Virginia, violated Federal Acquisition Regulations and DoD guidance when awarding contracts for air membrane dehydrators. Specifically, the allegations stated that the Navy selected a competing supplier of dehydrators on an "unadvertised sole-source basis," and that the dehydrators purchased were not qualified by the usual Navy standards." The overall audit objective was to determine whether the Navy complied with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulations and DoD guidance when contracting for air membrane dehydrators. Specifically, we determined whether air membrane dehydrators were appropriately procured on a sole source basis, and were qualified by Navy standards.
