Sale of Central Air Data Computer Test Benches to Foreign Governments

Gao ID: 102480 March 14, 1977

A review of billing problems related to the sale by the Air Force of four test benches to foreign governments revealed a loss of $537,292.

The Air Force did not recover the amount of loss from foreign governments because (1) government furnished materiel (GFM) cost was not billed, and (2) the correct contract price was not always billed. Additional losses of $93,846 will be incurred if GFM costs are not added to test bench sales now being processed. Further, an additional $214,587 could be recovered from foreign governments for the replacement cost of navigational test benches.
