Abstract:

We conducted this audit in response to Defense Hotline allegations that Mission and Installation Contracting Command MICC mismanaged contract W9124E-11-C-0021 Horton contract. Our objective was to determine whether MICC controls for awarding, funding, and administering contracts supporting Fort Polk, Louisiana, Directorate of Public Works DPW functions were effective. Specifically, we determined whether MICC officials properly competed contracts and obligated and used contract funds we also determined whether MICC officials executed contract modifications in accordance with the scope of the contract. See Finding B for a summary of the six allegations made to the Defense Hotline and our responses. We did not review every specific allegation made to the Defense Hotline. We will consider including these in a separate follow-on audit if resources allow. See the Appendix for our scope and methodology.
