Allegations Concerning Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service Business Practices

Abstract

We performed this audit in response to a request from Senator John Warner. The request was based on several allegations the senator's office received concerning the operations of the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) in regard to the disposal of excess material. As of September 2001, DRMS had 69 offices that disposed of excess material with annual operating costs of $299.4 million. Of the 69 offices, 4 were regional centers with the authority and capability to demilitarize weapon systems and related items in the interest of national security and public safety. In FY 2001, DRMS total sales were about $54 million.
