The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we plan to begin the subject evaluation in May 2024. The objective of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness with which DoD contracting officers negotiated fair and reasonable prices with contractors for Ukraine security assistance. We may revise the objective as the evaluation proceeds, and we will consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives. We plan to perform this evaluation in accordance with the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “Quality Standards for Inspection and Evaluation.”
