DOD Hotline Allegation of Overpricing of F-15 Spare Parts

Abstract

This is the final report on the Audit of the DoD Hotline Allegation of Overpricing of F-15 Spare Parts, for your information and use. We made the audit from August through December 1989 in response to a hotline allegation that F-15 spare parts were being purchased at inflated prices. The initial objective of the audit was to determine whether the DoD paid fair and reasonable prices for initial spare parts for the F-15 Aircraft Tactical Electronic Warfare System Intermediate Support System (TISS) procured from the Military Avionics Division of Honeywell, Inc., a subcontractor of McDonnell Aircraft Company. During the audit, we expanded our scope to include a review of components purchased on the production contracts for the TISS. We also evaluated whether adequate internal controls were in place for the procurement of TISS initial spare parts and the complete production. We reviewed TISS contracts with a value of $278.2 million for full-scale development, production, and initial spare parts.
