Department of the Navy: 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 as a high-risk area within the Department of Defense (DOD). We recently reported that the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army had used unauthorized activity codes 2 to requisition nearly $3 billion in new and excess government property during the past 5 years. As a consequence, this property was vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse. 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 were used to requisition new and excess government property. As discussed with your office, this letter focuses on the U.S. Navy use of unauthorized activity codes 3 from January 1995 to June 2000. We have reported separately on our investigation of whether the General Services Administration used unauthorized activity codes to requisition new and excess government property.
