MEMORANDUM FOR JAMES A. WILLIAMS

DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

 

FROM: Pamela J. Gardiner /s/ Pamela J. Gardiner

Deputy Inspector General for Audit

SUBJECT: Agreed Upon Procedures for TIRNO-99-D-00001

In response to your request, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) examined direct labor rates to determine the basis and reasonableness of the proposed rates, and examined indirect expense rates to determine the basis and reasonableness of the proposed rates. The report pertains only to the performance of agreed-upon procedures and does not reflect an audit. Accordingly DCAA does not express an opinion on the adequacy and compliance of the submitted cost or pricing data.

In summary, DCAA took no exception to the proposed direct labor rates, the proposed general and administrative rate, or the proposed project management rate. DCAA questioned costs related to the proposed premise overhead rates for the government Fiscal Years 2000 and 2001. See page 3 of the DCAA report for additional details.

The information in this report should not be used for purposes other than that intended without prior consultation with the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration regarding its applicability.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 622-6510, or your staff may call Maurice S. Moody, Associate Inspector General for Audit (Headquarters Operations & Exempt Organizations Programs), at (202) 622-8500.
