The objective of this audit was to determine whether Army contracting personnel acted in accordance with Federal and DoD policies to:
- properly award U.S. Army Tank–Automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) Task Order W56HZV‑23‑F‑0077, under Contract W56HZV‑22‑D‑ER04 (the task order), for the maintenance of equipment at the Remote Maintenance and Distribution Cell–Ukraine (RDC‑U);
- appropriately plan for and establish controls to conduct surveillance of contractor performance; and
- effectively monitor contractor performance.
This report is the third and final product issued as part of this audit, and addresses our findings related to the Army’s surveillance controls and Army contracting personnels’ efforts to monitor contractor performance related to the maintenance of equipment at the RDC‑U.
We previously issued two other products. Specifically, we issued Report No. DODIG‑2024‑041 on January 5, 2024, which reported that the Army properly awarded the task order in accordance with Federal and DoD policies by adequately planning the task order and supporting the award decision. We will also issue a product on the effectiveness of invoice reviews by Army contracting personnel.
