Pricing and Escalation Issues Weaken the Effectiveness of the Army Contract With Sikorsky to Support the Corpus Christi Army Depot

Abstract

The overall objective of the audit was to evaluate material purchases made at Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) through the partnership agreement with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky). Specifically, we determined whether the partnership agreement with Sikorsky effectively minimized the cost of direct materials to the depot. See Appendix A for a discussion of the scope and methodology and prior coverage. This report is one of two reports examining the Army contract with Sikorsky to support CCAD; the other report will address other CCAD/Sikorsky contract concerns. We performed this audit pursuant to Public Law 110-417, Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009, section 852, Comprehensive Audit of Spare Parts Purchases and Depot Overhaul and Maintenance of Equipment for Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, October 14, 2008.
