McDonnell Overcharged Air Force Says GAO
The General Accounting Office charged McDonnell Aircraft Corp with padding a fighter contract by 5.193 million dollars by not passing on cost reductions. A congressional committee opened an investigation into this and similar reports affecting other manufacturers. McDonnell challenged the GAO conclusions as hypercritical and unrealistic, arguing costs and prices vary and earlier orders influenced bids. GAO said potential overpricing could yield 1.506 million in extra earnings for the company at government expense. The probe was led by House Armed Services Investigations Subcommittee Chairman F Edward Hebert who warned of frequent overpricing and possible negotiator indifference. The GAO report covered a 1955 fighter plane and spare parts contract with a target price split 80-20 in favor of the government and contractor, noting McDonnell had lower supplier prices before negotiations.
