The Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) is a 10-year, $9.3 billion information technology services program. Through a performance-based contract, the Navy is buying network (intranet), application, and other hardware and software services at a fixed price per unit (or seat) to support about 550 sites. GAO prepared this report under the Comptroller General s authority as part of a continued effort to assist Congress and reviewed (1) whether the program is meeting its strategic goals, (2) the extent to which the contractor is meeting service level agreements, (3) whether customers are satisfied with the program, and (4) what is being done to improve customer satisfaction. To accomplish this, GAO reviewed key program and contract performance management-related plans, measures, and data and interviewed NMCI program and contractor officials, as well as NMCI customers at shipyards and air depots.

The DoD relies extensively on contractors to support deployed forces for services that range from food and housing services to intelligence analysis. Since 1997, there have been reports on DoD¿s shortcomings in managing and overseeing its use of contractor support. Part of the difficulty attributed to these shortcomings is that no one person or entity made the decision to send 129,000 contractors to Iraq. Rather, numerous DoD activities were involved, thus adding to the complexity of the problems. This testimony focuses on the problems that DoD has faced, & future challenges, in managing & overseeing its contractor support to deployed forces. Charts & tables.
