DOD has procurement guidance, but Army could take actions to enhance inspections and oversight
Place of Publication:
[Washington, D.C.] : United States Government Accountability Office, 2017.
Summary:
DOD uses armored military vehicles for combat and operational support, but it also uses armored commercial vehicles to transport military and civilian personnel in areas that pose a threat to their safety. These vehicles differ in many ways, including mission and appearance. The House Armed Services Committee report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 contained a provision for GAO to assess multiple aspects of DOD's procurement practices for ACPVs. This report assesses (1) DOD's guidance and procedures for acquiring ACPVs and how they compare with those at the Department of State; and (2) the extent to which selected DOD components adhere to guidance and procedures for ensuring the safety and quality of ACPVs. The Secretary of Defense should require the Army to conduct in- progress inspections and designate a central point of contact for ACPV information.
