Financial Impacts of Defense Logistics Agency Electronic Catalog and Office Supplies Initiatives on Retail Level Purchasing.
1999Co-Authors: Shelton R. Young, Tilghman A. Schraden, Terrance P. Wing, John W. Henry, James J. McdermottAbstract:Abstract : Introduction. This report is the first in a series of reports on retail level purchasing practices. In response to DoD efforts to reduce inventories and increase the use of commercial distribution systems, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has implemented best commercial inventory initiatives for the acquisition and distribution of military requirements. DLA expects the initiatives to transform its methods of procuring materiel into advanced private sector business practices. Among other benefits, the transformation should provide retail level organizations lower pricing as a result of the DLA leveraged buying power. DLA initiatives included an electronic catalog ordering system (April 1997) and a blanket purchase agreement for office supplies (October 1998) issued against a General Services Administration Federal supply schedule. Retail organizations procuring material through those initiatives paid DLA a cost recovery rate (percentage of the price of materiel ordered) for administering the initiatives. The FY 1999 rate for the electronic catalog and blanket purchase agreement for office supplies was 7 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. Orders for the electronic catalog products from April 1997 through January 20,1999, were $553,000, and FY 1999 sales for office supplies are projected to be 2.9 million. Objective. The overall Audit Objective was to determine whether retail level organizations in DoD were using the most economical and efficient source of supply when purchasing commercial brand name items through centralized Federal procurement programs. The specific Objective of this report was to evaluate the financial impact of the electronic catalog and office supplies initiatives on retail organizations for materiel ordered through those initiatives. We also included a review of the management control program as it applied to the specific Audit Objective.

European Theater C-9A Aircraft Flying Hour Program.
1997Co-Authors: Shelton R. Young, Michael A. Joseph, Michael F. Yourey, Scott J. Grady, Christine S. BowlesAbstract:Abstract : Our overall Audit Objective was to validate the flying hour program for C-9A aeromedical evacuation aircraft based outside the continental United States. However, we limited our review to the European theater because the Air Force Audit Agency conducted an Audit on the management of C-9A aircraft aeromedical evacuation operations and training in the Pacific theater. See Appendix B for a discussion of the Air Force Audit Agency report. We did not review the management control program as it applied to the overall Audit Objective because it was discussed in Inspector General, DoD, Report No. 95-225, "Aeromedical Evacuation System," June 9, 1995.

Housing Market Analysis at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.
1997Co-Authors: Paul J. Granetto, Wayne K. Million, Nicholas E. Como, Andrew J. Filer, Catherine B. ArgubrightAbstract:Abstract : A housing market analysis determines the ability of on-base and off-base family housing assets to meet the family housing needs of military personnel. Peterson Air Force Base completed a housing market analysis in April 1995 that showed a projected deficit of 202 family housing units. The Director of Housing, U.S. Air Force, then directed several Air Force installations, including Peterson Air Force Base, to contract for an alternative housing market analysis. The Peterson Air Force Base alternative analysis was completed in October 1995 and projected a family housing deficit of 278 units in FY 1999. Audit Objectives. The overall Audit Objective was to evaluate whether family housing requirements support the need for constructing DoD family housing. Another announced Audit Objective was to review the adequacy of the management control program applicable to the overall Objective. This report is limited to our review of the Peterson Air Force Base housing market analysis. Our review of the management control program applicable to the family housing requirements determination process of all the Military Services will be addressed in a separate report.
