Procurement: Project 12,000 at the San Antonio Air Logistics Center

摘要

The report is a review of Project 12,000 undertaken by the San Antonio Air Logistics Center (SA-ALC), Kelly Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Project 12,000 was an intensive effort conducted by the SA-ALC during April, May, and June 1985 to reduce the backlog of open purchase requests from 20,855 as of March 31, 1985, to 12,000 by June 30, 1985, by increasing the number of contracts awarded. You expressed concern that the Air Force, in pursuing its goal to reduce its procurement backlog, may have taken inappropriate short cuts in assuring fair and reasonable prices were obtained.
