Department of the Air Force: Unauthorized Activity Codes Used to Requisition New and Excess DOD Property
Abstract
This letter is part of our continuing effort to address inventory management activities within the Department of Defense (DOD) as a high-risk area. 1 We recently reported that the Army used unauthorized activity codes 2 to requisition over $2.6 billion in new government property and $100 million in excess government property over the past 5 years. As a consequence, this property was vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse. Subsequently, you asked that we determine whether the other military services and other federal agencies maintained activity codes that were unauthorized to requisition and, if so, whether any of these codes were used to requisition new and excess government property. As discussed with your office, this letter focuses on the U.S. Air Force's use of unauthorized activity codes from January 1995 to June 2000. We have reported separately on our investigations of whether the U.S. Navy and the General Services Administration used activity codes classified as unauthorized to requisition new and excess government property. 3
