Waivers of Requirement for Contractors to Provide Cost or Pricing Data

Abstract

This audit was initiated in response to a tasking in the Senate committee on Armed Services Report on the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2000. The committee noted that during FYs 1997 and 1998, DoD granted roughly $2.5 billion of waivers to the Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) requirement that contractors provide cost or pricing data. The TINA authorizes the waivers only in extraordinary circumstances. Additionally, the statement of managers accompanying the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1999 states that Congress intended that this waiver authority be used only in limited circumstances. The committee directed that the Inspector General, DoD, review the Department's use of the waiver authority.
