Better Contract Oversight Could Have Prevented Deficiencies in the Detention Facility in Parwan, Afghanistan
Abstract
Our overall objective was to determine whether the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Afghanistan Engineer District-North (TAN) and U.S. Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A) officials procured construction services and administered the construction contract for the Detention Facility in Parwan, Afghanistan, (DFIP) and the Afghanistan National Detention Facility (ANDF) in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other applicable laws and regulations. Specifically, we determined whether USACE TAN officials properly monitored the contractor s performance during DFIP construction and took recourse against the contractor because of potential latent defects, negligence, or fraud. Since the DFIP was under warranty at the time of our review, we did not address pre-award and award procedures. We did not determine whether USACE TAN officials properly monitored contractor performance for the construction of the ANDF because construction was not complete at the time of our site visits. See Appendix A for scope, methodology, and prior coverage related to the audit objectives.
