Procurement of Contract Reconciliation Services by the Defense Logistics Agency
Abstract
The audit objective was to evaluate DLA's procedures for contracting with NSI to reconcile contracts before their transfer from the Defense Contract Administration Services Regions to the Defense Finance Center. We also evaluated the adequacy of applicable internal controls. We evaluated compliance with Federal laws and DoD, DLA, and SBA regulations, which related to contract management and administration, subcontracting, and use of the SBA section 8(a) program. We interviewed the contracting officers responsible for the procurement action, contracting officer representatives at DLA headquarters and the contracting officer technical representatives at DCASR-Los Angeles and DFC-Columbus. We also interviewed DbA officials responsible for internal reviews and for monitoring the use of competition and small business programs. In addition, we interviewed NSI and Coopers and Lybrand representatives We reviewed the statements of work, the contractor's proposals, the letter contract, the contract modifications, and the definitized and follow-on contracts. We also reviewed DLA's internal Procurement Manageinent Reviews and Federal managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) reports since 1985 to determine whether findings identified during this audit were identified previously.
