BY THE US. GENERAL ACCOUNING OFFICE




Report To The Secretary Of Defense








Questionable Practices 'In The Selection Of

Transportation Services For Small Lots Of

Hazardous Or Sensitive Cargo



The Department of Defense spends several
million dollars a year to transport small lots
of hazardous or sensitive cargo. Truck and
air taxi operators actively compete for this
cargo.

Despite the similarities in the truck and air
taxi prices and service, DOD routed far more
cargo to trucks than to air taxis. Also, more
business was routed to one air taxi than to
the others. Consequently, DOD lost opportu-
nities to purchase the least cost, best service
available.

The problems resulted because routing
technicians did not have the data they
needed, did not use all the data available, or
ignored certain criteria established for
selecting the mode and carrier to be used.
