Description
Summary:The Major Range and Test Facilities Base is a national asset that is sized, operated, and maintained primarily for DoD test and evaluation support missions, but may also be available to all users having a valid requirement for its capabilities. The audit objective was to determine whether contracting officials at the Major Range and Test Facilities Base complied with the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation in awarding and administrating service and technical support contracts. We selected service contracts at three Army, three Navy, and three Air Force locations to review the award and administration procedures. Our audit included 10 contracts with a total dollar value of more than $7.6 billion for performance periods from FY 1997 through FY 2015. In March 2004, DoD established the Defense Test Resource Management Center to plan and assess the adequacy of the Major Range and Test Facilities Base. The Defense Test Resource Management Center is a DoD field activity under the authority, direction, and control of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
