Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 7, 1992

Subject
Summary:

NASA has typically spent about 90 percent of its funds procuring goods and services. During fiscal years 1989 through 1991, NASA paid contractors more than $10 billion annually. In GAO's view, NASA's lack of adequate management controls for its procurement activities puts this program at high risk for waste, fraud, and abuse. This testimony focuses on ways to improve NASA's administration of contracts after they are awarded. GAO discusses how NASA can strengthen management controls over and oversight of contract cost increases and time extensions, contract modifications, and contract administration by other government organizations.
