"Pentagon Contractors MASSIVELY Overcharge For Parts Audit"
Then again, what would make me think that?...
Tristyn Bloom recently reported on this and more at DailyCaller.com:
"Bloomberg reports that the DoD paid $8,123.50 each for gears that should have cost $445.06 — an 18-fold markup. The Office of the Inspector General, who performed the audit, wants the DoD to recoup the money from the contractor, Bell Helicopter, saying that 'the contracting officer [should] assess and implement available options to voluntarily recover from Bell about $9 million in excessive payments.' The company is not legally required to pay any money back."
