Logistics: H-60 Seahawk Performance-Based Logistics Program

Abstract

DoD civil service personnel, uniformed officers, and Government contractors responsible for implementing performance-based logistics should read this report. This report discusses the H-60 SeaHawk performance-based logistics program. The Program Office and Naval Inventory Control Point identified and documented a sound process for preparing and developing H-60 SeaHawk Business Case Analysis and performance-based logistics strategies. Because the Navy aggressively adopted and implemented the H-60 SeaHawk Performance-Based Logistics strategy, the Program Office realized benefits from the strategy, which included reported increases in availability and reliability, training opportunities, Navy depot workload, and product improvements. However, the Program Office and Naval Inventory Control Point were unable to document their effectiveness in managing the performance-based logistics contracts. We reviewed the management control program as it related to the audit objectives. As a result, the Naval Inventory Control Point could not demonstrate whether H-60 SeaHawk Performance-Based Logistics contract incentive payments were accurate and could not determine if any H-60 SeaHawk Performance-Based Logistics efforts reduced total ownership costs. The Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command needed to establish oversight procedures to verify and document contractor performance, establish time frames for reconciliations and contract modifications, and update the Business Case Analysis. The Commander, Naval Inventory Control Point needed to establish management controls for contract-required reconciliations. Revising the contractor oversight process would provide DoD the needed assurance that the oversight effectively supports DoD management goals. Recommendations in this report, if implemented, will correct the weakness identified and will improve NAVICP administration of performance-based logistics contracts.
