The U.S. Navy’s Oversight and Administration of the Base Support Contracts in Bahrain DODIG-2018-074

The U.S. Navy did not provide effective oversight of the base support contracts in Bahrain. Specifically, contracting officer’s representatives relied on foreign national direct-hire or contractor performance assessment representatives to execute all quality assurance oversight of the contractors. However, the contracting officer’s representatives did not ensure the performance assessment representatives oversaw all contractual requirements. In addition, the contracted performance assessment representatives at one base performed oversight tasks that approached inherently governmental functions. As a result, NAVFAC did not have assurance that the $161.5 million the U.S. Navy paid for base support resulted in adequately performed or contractually compliant services.
