Audit of the DoD's Policies and Procedures to Prevent the Procurement of Prohibited Seafood Products (Report No. DODIG-2025-161)
Audit
The objective of this audit was to determine the existence and sufficiency of the Department of Defense's policies and procedures to procure seafood in accordance with the Tariff Act of 1930 (Tariff Act). The Joint Explanatory Statement to accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 directed the DoD OIG to perform this audit.
The DoD has policies and procedures to procure seafood in accordance with the Tariff Act by implementing Federal laws restricting procurements from foreign sources, primarily through the Berry Amendment, which largely limits seafood purchases to U.S. suppliers.
