BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress


OF THE UNITED STATES


Better Management Needed In DOD

To Prevent Fraudulent And Erroneous

Contract Payments And To Reduce

Real Property Maintenance Costs



The Department of Defense (DOD) spends
about $1.9 billion annually on real property
maintenance and repair. Requirements for
additional work are being identified faster
than funds become available. DOD could
reduce costs and accomplish more work by
improving its contract award and administra-
tion procedures.

Contract administration at the Army, Navy,
and Air Force installations GAO visited was
not adequate to prevent intentional or un-
intentional overcharges.


Several installations paid for much more work
than was done; some ordered unnecessary
work and accepted inferior work; and lower
prices were not obtained at some because
requirements forecasts were unrealistic, work
specifications were inappropriate or poorly
written, and price proposals were not prop-
erly analyzed.
