Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Issues New Audit Reports

  • 09-014 – Security Forces Logistics Contract Experienced Certain Cost, Outcome, and Oversight Problems, April 26, 2009: “This report discusses one of the largest Department of Defense contracts funded by the Iraq Security Forces Fund [As of January 31, 2009, the value of the three task orders issued under the AECOM contract for this purpose was $628.2 million]. The contract was awarded to AECOM Government Services (AECOM) for Global Maintenance and Supply Services in Iraq (GMASS). This contract supports a Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I) program to assist the Iraqi Army develop a logistics capability so that it can be self-sufficient.”
  • 09-016 – Asset-transfer Process for Iraq Reconstruction Projects Lacks Unity and Accountability, April 26, 2009: “U.S. Iraq reconstruction agencies have yet to develop a uniform process and procedure for transferring completed projects to the GOI. Each U.S. agency has its own internal process for transferring assets to the Iraqis. Management oversight of the process lacks clear authority and accountability, a core problem that SIGIR has identified in previous asset-transfer reports.”
  • 09-017 – Need To Enhance Oversight of Theater-Wide Internal Security Services Contracts, April 24, 2009: “Private security contractors (PSCs) play an important role in Iraq by protecting U.S. personnel, facilities, and property related to reconstruction efforts. In September 2007, the Department of Defense (DoD) competitively awarded five Theater-Wide Internal Security Services (TWISS) contracts to five PSCs for static, or fixed site security services in Iraq. The contracts have a combined not-to-exceed maximum value of $450 million. The companies are among the seven largest private security service providers in Iraq.”
