This letter report provides the results of an Office of Inspector General inspection of
questionable purchases at the Department of Energy's Hanford Site (Hanford). During a
review of the procurement card program at the Fluor Hanford Company (Fluor), we learned
that Fluor and another Hanford prime contractor, CH2M Hill Hanford Company (CH2M
Hill), had used Government funds to purchase overtime meals for employees. In addition,
we learned Fluor had used Government funds to purchase gift items that were given away to
the public. The objective of this inspection was to determine if the purchase of overtime
meals and gifts using Government funds was in compliance with applicable Federal
regulations and policies.
