Summary of Information Operations Contracts in Iraq
Abstract
Our objective was to identify the universe of all contracts, to include task orders, used to conduct Information Operations (IO) (including psychological operations in Iraq during FYs 2006-2008. Additionally, we attempted to determine the amount of money obligated for each contract or task order. We performed this agreed-upon procedures attestation engagement in response to a request from the Commander, U.S. Central Command, to evaluate the IO requirements in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The commander asked us to identify and evaluate the process to establish and execute IO requirements and to identify the resources applied to meet those requirements. The commander also asked us to evaluate the contracting process and the use of private contractors in support of IO. This is the second in a series of reports that will address the request from the Commander, U.S. Central Command. Our report lists all unclassified contracts used to conduct IO (including psychological operations) in Iraq during FYs 2006-2008. The first report in the series, report number D-2009-091, discusses whether the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) IO contracts awarded by Multi-National Forces-Iraq complied with the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
