Subject
Summary:

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA) controls over procurement lead times, focusing on whether DLA had adequate management controls to ensure that lead-time estimates were appropriate to support mission requirements.

GAO found that: (1) DLA did not implement adequate controls to manage and minimize procurement lead times as the Department of Defense (DOD) directed; and (2) DLA took measures to reduce its contract award times but, since it did not obtain the best delivery times from contractors, it did not reduce its production and delivery times.
