Army Healthcare Enterprise Management System
Abstract
Introduction. The audit was performed in response to allegations to the Defense Hotline concerning the procurement of the Army Healthcare Enterprise Management System. The complaint alleged that the Army Healthcare Enterprise Management System was not properly competed, potential conflicts of interest existed, and possible contract performance problems existed. The complainant also alleged that the Fort Sam Houston Information Technology Business Center, an Army organization, could have obtained better prices by using an Army blanket purchase agreement to buy the Enterprise Management System. The Information Technology Business Center provides information technology services to Fort Sam Houston tenants which include the Army Medical Command and the Army Medical Department Center and School. During FY 1999, the General Services Administration awarded three contracts with a total value of about $3.1 million for the purchase of the Enterprise Management System and consolidation of the computer servers on behalf of the Information Technology Business Center. The Enterprise Management System will provide the Information Technology Business Center with the capability to centrally manage desktop personal computers, distribute software, and inventory all systems in the local area network.
