Rec. A.1.a: The DoD OIG recommended that the Commander, Air Force Materiel Command conduct a review of six stock numbers reviewed by this audit for which Air Force personnel could not provide evidence of full restitution. If the review determines that the contractor did not provide restitution and the Air Force can still pursue restitution under the contract terms, require the applicable Air Force contracting officer to pursue restitution for the $500,000 from the contractor that provided defective parts. Also, comment on the $500,000 in questioned costs related to defective parts for which the Air Force was unable to provide evidence of contractor restitution. If the Commander disagrees with the questioned costs, identify the amount and the reason.
