E. Renfro Commander, Defense Contract Administration Services Region (DCASR) O'Hare International Airport P.O. Box 66475 Chicago, Illinois 60666 Dear Captain Renfro We recently completed a survey of defense contracting activities at Ingersoll Products Division (IPD), Borg-Warner Corporation, Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of our survey was to inquire into certain management practices of the contractor as well as those of the Department of Defense agencies responsible for procurement and administration. The DCASR, Chicago is responsible for contract administration and maintains a resident Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) at the contractor's plant. Generally, we found the areas surveyed to be managed in a satisfactory manner. We observed, however, that IPD (1) deviated from a Government drawing without approval and (2) did not follow specific instructions relating to the acceptance of repaired bomb bodies. These matters are discussed in more detail in this report. During 1968 and 1969, IPD and the U. S. Navy Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, negotiated three firm fixed-price contracts totaling about $32 million for production of MK82 GP bomb bodies. Delivery under these contracts began in January 1969 and are scheduled to continue through May 1971. Drawing deviation without Government approval IPD negotiated contracts N00104-69-C-0003 and -0342, on the basis of purchasing the bomb body adapter, part number 1252606, one of the major components, rough machined in accordance with the dimensions shown on the Government drawing. IPD requested three deviations from the Government drawing which were approved contingent on meeting final machining requirements. 50TH ANN ARY 1921-1971
