Summary:
SIGIR has often been asked about problems in the U.S. reconstruction program, including the extent to which contracts have been terminated because of poor performance on the part of the contractor. Government contracts generally contain clauses allowing the U.S. government to end a contract when the need for the supplies or services no longer exists, the contractor's performance becomes unsatisfactory, or some other situation develops that warrants contract closure. This follow-on report provides insights on factors and circumstances related to contract terminations of selected projects and the reasons for them. SIGIR's reporting objectives include determining (1) the numbers, types, and basis for all DoD terminations of Iraq reconstruction projects, and the characteristics of selected termination actions; (2) if terminated projects resulted in wasted government resources; (3) actions DoD agencies took against poor performing contractors; and (4) whether funds were still obligated against terminated projects. SIGIR recommends actions to reinforce the importance of screening contractors against lists of those debarred or suspended from receiving contracts, and deobligate excess funds that remain obligated against terminated contracts.
