Compliance with Procurement Laws in Purchasing Free Weights and Other Strength Building Equipment

Abstract

This report addresses the contracting practices military organizations used to procure free weights and other strength building equipment for use at Defense installations in the U.S. (including its territories and possessions). We conducted the audit in response to section 819 of Public Law 106-65, "National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000." Section 819 of Public Law 106-65 requires the Inspector General, DoD, to conduct an audit of procurements of free weights and other strength building equipment during the period April 1, 1998, through March 31, 2000. The overall audit objective was to determine whether contracting officers complied with the Buy American Act and other procurement laws and regulations when procuring free weights and other strength building equipment. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program as it related to the primary audit objective.
