This audit will support a request from the Department for assistance with efforts related to Executive Order 14222, “Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency’ Cost Efficiency Initiative.” The objective of this audit is to assess the effectiveness of the DoD’s processes for developing contract requirements packages for information technology, management, and advisory services contracts to achieve cost efficiencies.
