Controls Over Vendor Payment Authorizations by the Defense Commissary Agency

Abstract

On October 1, 1991, the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) was established through the consolidation of Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps commissary systems. The Office of the Secretary of Defense centralized commissary management under one Defense agency to reduce DoD cost of operating the commissary system. A key decision was to achieve the consolidation without gradually phasing in different commissary store systems. DeCA manages 384 commissary stores worldwide, and employs about 23,000 workers. Sales were $6.1 billion in FY 1992 and are estimated at $6.0 billion for FY 1993.
