Highlights
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed a firm's allegations concerning the Air Force's reprocurement of a centrifuge trainer to determine: (1) whether the awardee's sale to the Air Force of the trainer originally manufactured for the government of Turkey and financed with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program credits was consistent with the FMS program; (2) whether the Air Force assisted the awardee in obtaining the release of the trainer from Turkey; (3) whether the awardee violated federal regulations in providing used equipment; and (4) why the Air Force did not award the contract to the low bidder.
