The Department of Defense (DOD) submitted to the Congress on July 29, 2005 a report entitled Defense Commercial Communications Satellite Services Procurement Process. In response to direction from the Committee on Armed Services, United States Senate, we reviewed DOD's report to determine the extent to which it addressed the seven recommendations contained in our December 2003 report on how DOD procures fixed commercial satellite bandwidth services. On September 2, 2005, we briefed the Committee on the results of our review. This letter summarizes and transmits that briefing. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1019R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1019R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1019R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1019R.pdf GAO-05-1019R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-1019R Correspondence GAO-05-1019R; Briefing on DOD's Report on Commercial Communications Satellite Services Procurement Process; Communication satellites Defense procurement Defense capabilities Defense cost control Department of Defense contractors Procurement planning Procurement practices Military communication Title 41 Section 403(6) 41 U.S.C. 403(6) Public Law 108-375
