Information Technology: Defense Hotline Allegations on the Procurement of a Facilities Maintenance Management System

Abstract

This audit was performed in response to allegations made to the Defense Hotline in May 2001 concerning Marine Corps acquisition of facilities maintenance software called MAXIMO (a product of MRO Software, Incorporated). MRO Software, Incorporated, has provided MAXIMO to more than 8,000 organizations including Government agencies. The allegations involved the procurement of MAXIMO at 16 Marine Corps installations. Specifically, the allegations addressed the Marine Corps failure to rely on a system approved for managing facilities maintenance within the Marine Corps, potential administrative violations within the procurement process for MAXIMO, and improper funding of MAXIMO with operation and maintenance funds.
