Defense Management: DLA Has Made Progress in Improving Prime Vendor Program, but Has Not Yet Completed All Corrective Actions
Abstract
A House Armed Services Committee report accompanying the fiscal year 2007 Defense Authorization bill directed GAO to review DLA's actions and submit a report to the defense committees no later than March 1, 2007. Our objective was to determine the extent to which DLA's corrective actions have addressed the main deficiencies in the prime vendor program. To accomplish this objective, we reviewed the actions DLA and DSCP have taken. We also reviewed a new DLA policy that governs the use of prime vendor contracts and DSCP's adherence to that policy and implementing procedures. In addition, we reviewed internal assessments of DLA's and DSCP's management of prime vendor contracts, as well as prior GAO reports. Further, we interviewed DLA and DSCP officials, as well as officials in the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness. We conducted our review between August 2006 and January 2007, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Our scope and methodology are discussed in further detail at the end of this report.
