Audit of Navy Defective Parts and Contractor Restitution (Report No. DODIG-2026-070)

Audit

What We Did:

The objective of this audit was to assess the effectiveness of the Navy’s efforts to remove from the DoD supply chain defective spare parts provided by contractors, and to obtain restitution (reimbursement) from contractors that provide defective spare parts. This report is one in a series of two reports on DoD defective spare parts and contractor restitution. The first audit focused on the Air Force, and this audit focused on the Navy Systems Commands—Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA).
