Efforts to Charge for Using Government-owned Assets for Foreign Military Sales

Book Description
Department of Defense (DOD) pricing policies require that a 1-percent asset-use charge be applied on inventory sales when government-owned assets are used to produce items sold to other countries; however, the countries have not been charged for the use of those assets. In April 1978, GAO reported that foreign governments had been subsidized by as much as $107 million for those sales reviewed. Effort on the part of the military departments, the Defense Logistics Agency, and DOD to ensure that the charges were being assessed was generally lacking. Despite marked improvements since the 1978 report, additional improvements are needed in accounting for the charges and in identifying items subject to the charge. Roughly $10 million has yet to be billed to foreign customers. Some payments were not deposited as required, but were offset against payments for current DOD costs which are to be paid with appropriated funds. The charges, which are required by law, are reasonable and should not be waived. Any embarrassment to DOD or any customer dissatisfaction resulting from retroactive billings could have been avoided had DOD taken action to assess these charges promptly.

Book Description
The Arms Export Control Act gives the President authority to sell defense articles and services to eligible foreign countries, generally at no cost to the U.S. government. While the Defense Security Assistance Agency (DSAA) has overall responsibility for administering the program, the Army, Navy, and Air Force normally execute the sales agreements--commonly referred to as sales cases. Foreign military sales are made on an individual case basis. The cases are initiated by a foreign country representative sending a letter of request to DOD asking for various information, such as precise price data. Once the customer decides to proceed with the purchase, DOD prepares a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) stating the terms of the sale for the goods and services being provided. The Arms Export Control Act requires that, after September 30,1976, letters of offer for the sale of major defense equipment shall include a proportionate amount of nonrecurring costs related to the research, development, and production of major defense equipment DOD interpreted the act as requiring the recovery of these costs on a pro rata basis. The military services calculate the pro rata rate by dividing the total research and development and other one-time production costs by the anticipated total number of units to be produced for both domestic and foreign use. A separate charge is calculated for each item of major defense equipment and is included in the LOA as part of the price that its customers are to pay for the purchase of major defense equipment.
