Boeing Co. overcharged the Pentagon’s primary parts-buying agency $13.7 million in 1,469 parts orders after government personnel failed to negotiate “fair and reasonable prices,” according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.
The inspector general recommended that the Defense Logistics Agency “implement available options to recover from Boeing the overpayment” and renegotiate for overpaid parts, it said in a report summary posted today on its website. It didn’t say which military systems the parts were for.
