Administration of Time-and-Materials Contracts at the U.S. Army Troop Support Command

Abstract

Our objective was to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the award, modification, and surveillance of time-and-materials contracts for which administration was retained by the U.S. Army Troop Support Command. The Command performed contract administration on two time-and-materials contracts. We reviewed two time-and-materials contracts awarded by the same contracting officer at the U.S. Army Troop Support Command. We reviewed contract DAAK0l-86-D-C07l, which totaled $7.9 million, and the follow-on contract -DAAKOl-89-D-DOOl, which totaled $5.3 million, for a combined contract value of $13.2 million. We reviewed documents and records related to the award and administration of the initial contract awarded in FY 1986 and the follow-on contract awarded in FY 1989. The documents and records reviewed included Government preaward and contract documents, contracting proposals, resumes, delivery orders, invoices, the contracting officer's memorandums, cost accounting records, contractor financial and accounting records, payroll records and Defense Contract Audit Agency reports. We also interviewed contractor personnel.
