DODIG-2026-070 - Recommendation D-2026-0070-D000AX-0001-0001

Rec. 1: The DoD OIG recommended that the Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command, review the four national stock numbers identified in this audit for which Navy personnel could not provide evidence of full restitution. If the review determines that the contractor did not provide restitution and the Navy can pursue restitution under the contract terms, then the Commander should require the applicable Navy contracting officer to pursue restitution from the contractor that provided defective parts. Also, the Commander should comment on the $2.6 million in questioned costs related to defective parts for which the Navy was unable to provide evidence of contractor restitution. If the Commander disagrees with the questioned costs, identify the amount and the reason.
