摘要

GSA provides Federal customers with various products and services including real estate and related services. The Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) is responsible for the oversight and management of administrative space occupied by DoD agencies and Military departments in the National Capital Region. DoD customers occupying space in buildings in the National Capital Region receive rent bills from WHS. GSA requested this audit after the Inspector General, GSA reviewed unpaid rent bills and round that WHS was responsible for the largest dollar value of delinquent rent bills. A long history of billing problems existed between WHS and GSA. However, WHS and GSA resolved all prior billing disputes as of September 30, 1997. GSA billed $781 million to WHS for space occupied by DoD customers in 161 buildings in the National Capital Region from October 1, 1997, through June 30, 2001. WHS passed on (rebilled) $699.3 million of the $781 million to DoD customers.
