The audit revealed that the Air Force overpaid nearly $1 million for various spare parts, with bathroom soap dispensers costing over 80 times their commercial price.
A significant issue highlighted in the audit was the Air Force's inability to maintain historical cost data, which hindered effective reviews and oversight of spare parts purchases.
The watchdog noted that approximately 26% of the spare parts examined, valued at $4.3 million, failed to meet reasonable pricing standards due to oversight failures.
The OIG attributed the overpayment to a failure in validating accurate data during contract negotiations and conducting proper reviews of invoices for fair pricing.
