Audit
The objective of this audit was to assess the effectiveness of the DoD's processes for ensuring the quality and timeliness of supplies and equipment provided to the Ukrainian Armed Forces funded through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). This is one of two reports on the DoD's use of USAI authorities and relates to the U.S. Air Force's processes.
Of the five contracts we reviewed, valued at $900 million, Air Force personnel performed effective oversight to ensure that contractors complied with established quality control requirements for all five contracts and ensured that contractors delivered supplies and equipment on time for three contracts, valued at $618 million. For the other two contracts, valued at $282 million, the contractors are not required to deliver the supplies and equipment until at least October 2025. However, for one of those two contracts, valued at $63.7 million, personnel responsible for overseeing the contract do not anticipate that the contractor will meet the contract's production schedule because the contractor does not have sufficient personnel to complete the required work and used a single production line to produce the missiles.
