To accomplish its task, the Corps placed a $39.5 million order with Akima Site Operations for the purchase and delivery of 450 such classrooms. GAO received an allegation on its Fraud Hotline that the Corps paid inflated prices for the classrooms, and in response, we reviewed the facts and circumstances related to the Corps' issuance of the order. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-454/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-454.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-454/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-454.pdf GAO-06-454 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-454 Other Written Product GAO-06-454; Hurricane Katrina: Army Corps of Engineers Contract for Mississippi Classrooms; Disaster recovery Educational facilities Federal procurement Fraud Hurricane Katrina Limited procurement Overpayments Procurement evaluation Questionable procurement charges Schools SBA 8(a) Business Development Program
