Audit: Robins depot overpaid contractors by up to $24 million Submitted by 13WMAZ Web Staff Wednesday, February 24th, 2016, 8:19pm A federal audit says Warner Robins' Air Logistics Center overpaid three contractors by as much as $24 million. Those are the conclusions of an audit by the Department of Defense's Inspector General. Their report says the base failed to negotiate proper rates for work done by workers at the ALC for those contractors. The audit cites contracts with Boeing, for repairs to the C-17 aircraft; Northrup Grumman, for a low-power color radar system; and to Honeywell, for electronic components used in the F-15E aircraft.

"We're deeply sorry for any offense or harm caused by our insensitivity and failure to provide appropriate oversight of our marketing process," Robins spokesman Roland Leach said in an email Thursday. "The flyer does not represent the values, opinions or views of the Department of Defense, the Air Force or Robins Air Force Base leadership and its employees." Leach said Robins officials realized the advertisement was inappropriate "several days ago" and immediately started taking the flyer down.
