Matsui Ill 11111111 House of Representatives 125148 Dear Mr. Matsui: Subject: Review of Contract for Air Force Consolidated Space Operations Center (GAO/NSIAD-84-1'54) In your April 18, 1984, letter, you asked us to review a contract to construct the Consolidated Space Operations Center in Colorado for the Air Force. You also asked us to look into whether a major portion of the steel detailing, which entails preparing shop drawings based on the architect's plans and specifications, was being performed in the Republic of South Korea. You stated that the steel fabricating and detailing industry on the west coast of the United States has been adversely affected by intense and unfair competition from Korean firms. You specifically asked: --Is the steel detailing element of the contract actually being performed in South Korea? If so, what percentage? --Do regulations governing contracting procedures for govern- ment projects prohibit steel detailing and the supply and fabrication of steel by foreign firms? To respond to the questions, we reviewed the contract and related documents. Also, we contacted officials of the agency that awarded 'the contract, the Corps of Engineers, and the main steel subcontractor, Marathon Steel Company. Finally, we evaluated pertinent contract provisions and procedures in light of applicable procurement laws and regulations. Our ability to verify whether the steel detailing was performed in Korea and the percentage thereof was restricted because we do not have a right of access to the contractor's records under the type of contract involved. We conducted our review in accordance with generally accepted government audit standards, except as requested by your office we did not request official agency comments on the report. 1 ,-10M 1 (392072)
