Air Force Air Combat Command Contracts

Abstract

We began this audit as a result of a May 24, 2007, Defense Criminal Investigative Service Southwest Field Office request for our assistance in support of an investigation of allegations of unfair contract procurement and possible conflicts of interest. The Defense Criminal Investigative Service specifically requested we review eight contracts valued at $57.2 million awarded by the Air Combat Command to support the Air Force Thunderbirds Air Show. The Thunderbirds, part of the Air Combat Command, are a United States Air Force Demonstration Squadron located at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The Thunderbirds mission includes supporting Air Force retention and recruiting programs, as well as demonstrating to the public the professional competence of the Air Force members. The Thunderbirds represent the U.S. and its Armed Forces to foreign nations to promote international goodwill. Air Combat Command contracting support for the Thunderbirds is provided by the 99th Contracting Squadron, which provides contract planning and contract administration to the Nellis Air Force Base organization.
