Recommendations

Recommendations for Executive Action

Agency Affected Recommendation Status
Department of Defense The Secretary of the Navy should direct the Naval Air Systems Command to: (1) increase supervision over the program for requesting and providing long supply aviation assets to production contractors; and (2) request annual screening for long supply aviation assets in January rather than April. This action would permit available assets to be offered to production contractors early enough for suitable items to be used in the applicable production year.
Closed – Implemented
When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
