The US Air Force has overpaid for parts for Boeing’s C-17 Transport Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General, according to a review released by the Pentagon, US media reported. A survey found that Boeing offers toilet soap dispensers for about 80 times the price of similar products on the market.<\/p>\n

According to the Business Insider website, the Pentagon’s Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General has launched an investigation based on reports received through the Pentagon Hotline, and released on the 28th on the U. S. Air Force\u201cAt a fair and reasonable price\u201d to buy C-17 transport aircraft parts of the investigation information.<\/p>\n

According to reports, a review found that the United States air force in the contract\u201cFor 12 different types of spare parts paid nearly $1 million,\u201d of which, the toilet soap dispenser price than the market equivalent of 7,943% higher. However, the report did not disclose the number of soap dispensers.<\/p>\n

The office stated that the value of the parts under effective review was $4.3 million, of which approximately 26 per cent were paid at unreasonable prices. However, because\u201cThe air force does not maintain historical cost data, and the Defense Department’s Contract Management Program is unable to obtain vendor quotations or find similar commercial components on the market,\u201d it can not effectively review all components.<\/p>\n

According to reports, a spokesman for Boeing said to the media on the matter that it was studying the review report, which appeared to be accurate for accessories that meet military specifications and designs, an\u201cInappropriate comparison\u201d was made with commercial products that did not meet standards or were not approved for use in C-17 transport aircraft. The company will continue to work with dod Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General and the Air Force to provide detailed written responses in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Inspector General Stouch said the Air Force needed to establish and implement more effective internal controls. The discovery could affect C-17 readiness worldwide.<\/p>\n
