Contract Oversight for the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Contract Needs Improvement

Abstract

This is the second in a series of reports on the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) contract. The first report focused on the BAMS contract award fee process. Our overall audit objective was to determine whether DoD officials properly managed and administered the contract supporting the BAMS program in accordance with Federal and DoD policies. See the appendix for discussion of our scope and methodology. This audit was conducted to support the requirements of Public Law 110-181, "National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008, section 842, "Investigation of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Wartime Contracts and Contracting Processes in Iraq and Afghanistan," January 28, 2008.
