Report No. GAO-19-101
Summary:

The National Nuclear Security Administration uses contracts to manage its labs, production facilities, and test sites.

Contractors track and report costs in their own ways—using lists of components like labor or material at a certain level of detail. One contractor may break down the components differently from another contractor—even for work on the same program. This makes it hard for NNSA to compare and manage contract costs.

NNSA is required to implement a common financial reporting system for its contractors. The effort has started, but we identified problems with the approach. We made 7 recommendations to address the problems we found.
