Price Reasonableness Determinations for Contracts Awarded by the U.S. Special Operations Command

Abstract

The audit objective was to determine whether the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) complied with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements for determining price reasonableness. We performed this audit pursuant to Public Law 110-181, "The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008," section 842, "Investigation of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Wartime Contracts and Contracting Processes in Iraq and Afghanistan," January 28, 2008. Section 842 requires "thorough audits . . . to identify potential waste, fraud, and abuse in the performance of (1) Department of Defense contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the logistical support of coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan; and (2) Federal agency contracts, subcontracts, and task and delivery orders for the performance of security and reconstruction functions in Iraq and Afghanistan." See Appendix A for discussion of scope, methodology, and prior audit coverage.
