Abstract:

Each year the Department of Defense (DOD) provides billions of dollars in material from its supply system to a large number of contractors to produce items, maintain them, or provide various services for the Armed Forces. Because contractors have had almost unlimited access to DOD'S supply system in the past, Senator Pete Wilson and Senator John Glenn, Chairman, Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, requested that GAO review DOD and military service policies, procedures, and practices for controlling this material. GAO'S review focused on the status of the Armys efforts to better control contractor access to DOD supply systems and adequacy of the Army's financial accountability for government-furnished material (GFM). GAO is separately reviewing Navy and Air Force controls over and accountability for GFM.
