Rigney Commander 2750th Air Base Wing A 2 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 45433 Dear Colonel Rigney: We have recently completed a review of the 2750th Air Base Wing's Contracting Division and Civil Engineering Squadron3 During this review we identified weaknesses and deficiencies in the planning, estimating, buying, and contract administration activities which warrant immediate corrective action. We identified instances of overpayments to contractors; inadequate planning and inaccurate estimates of maintenance and repair work to be done; inadequate controls over Air Force property; poorly documented files; questionable negotiation practices; unclear and improperly written purchase orders; and informal agreements between Air Force inspectors and contractors. Details of the weaknesses and deficiencies and our recommended corrective actions are presented in Appendix I. We provided a draft of this appendix to Contracting Division and Civil Engineering Squadron officials. Their comments are in Appendix II. Information from these appendices will be combined with information from other Department of Defense locations in an overall report to the Congress. We are pleased with the prompt corrective actions taken or planned by the Contracting Division. We believe these actions will result in more economical procurements and more thorough contract administration. We are concerned, however, that Civil Engineering Squadron officials have apparently not recognized the significance of the deficiencies identified nor the necessity for corrective action.
