Audit of Procurement of Perishable Subsistence in the Veterans Administration
The Office of Inspector General reviewed the VA's methods for procuring perishable subsistence items for Fiscal Year 1982 to identify possible ways to reduce these costs. The VA spent $94 million in FY 1982 to feed beneficiaries, by procurements in 160 of the 172 VA medical centers, several of which purchase for other centers. This study found that by reducing overlapping areas of procurement responsibility between the VA and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and by optimizing utilization of DLA as a primary source of perishable subsistence items, the VA could reduce annual subsistence costs by up to $4.6 million. Additional savings in excess of $1 million per year could be realized through the elimination of DLA's accessorial charges. The study also identified a need for the VA to develop contingency plans to ensure that medical centers are able to procure subsistence items without interruption or delay during periods of emergency. The report includes listings of items being ordered from DLA by VA medical centers, items available at DLA support depots, and VA medical centers not ordering from DLA.
