Navy overpaid Westinghouse on 1957 contract say GAO
GAO claims the Navy paid about 1 million more than it should have for a 3.5 million contract to Westinghouse Electric Corp. The subcontract was awarded without prior cost data from the manufacturing department and questioned as to legal propriety of a firm contracting work to its own department. Westinghouse rejects the charges and says the price bid was fair and government approved.
