Dear Mr. Chairman:                                         116275

     Subject: Lfort Monmouth Procurement Activities:
               Inappropriate Contract Actions May Increase
               Government Costs7( PLRD-81-14)

     On May 8, 1980, in your capacity as Chairman, Subcommittee
on Investigations, House Committee on Armed Services, you asked
us to review

     --contract DAAK80-79-C-0805 awarded by the U.S. Army
       Communications Research and Development Command
       (CORADCOM), Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, for the Joint
       Interface Test System, and

     --the entire scope of the U.S. Army Communications and
       Electronics Material Readiness command (CERCOM) ac-
       quisition activity at Fort Monmouth.

     On September 5, 1980, we sent you our report concerning
 contract DAAK80-79-C-0805. In discussions with your Office
 on the second part of your request, we agreed to restrict our
 review to:

      --Assessing whether CERCOM took followup actions
        designed to correct deficiencies noted in an Army
        report and assessing the adequacy of these actions.

      --Reviewing the award by all three Fort Monmouth pro-
        curement activities--CERCOM, CORADCOM, and the U.S.
        Army Electronics Research and Development Command
        (ERADCOM)--of cost-type contracts based on design,
        technical, or other-than-price competition to deter-
        mine whether Government negotiators took appro-
        priate actions to prevent or control potential
        additional costs.
