Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the funding and acquisition of the Automated Storage and Retrieval System at the Letterkenny Army Depot to determine if the Army properly classified it as an equipment procurement, rather than a construction project.

GAO found that the Army: (1) originally determined that the Department of Defense's definition of construction did not apply to the facility because it would neither stand alone nor form a separate building useable for other purposes; (2) incorrectly continued to classify the facility as an equipment procurement despite design changes, which required the construction of an individual building with other possible uses; (3) improperly charged funds to the Army Industrial Fund Capitalization Program; and (4) should have used available military construction appropriations.
