Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) planned acquisition for its Computer Resources Nucleus (CORN) project, intended to replace FAA general-purpose data-processing resources with contractor-owned and -operated computer resources. GAO found that: (1) an independent review by information consultants recommended restructuring the CORN solicitation and improving FAA information management; (2) the new FAA CORN solicitation resolved key technical and procurement-related concerns raised by GAO, an independent review, and the General Services Administration (GSA), and was ready to proceed through the acquisition stage; (3) at the time of the review, FAA had identified actions to improve its overall information resources management, but had not yet decided on a course of action; (4) GSA concluded that major CORN issues had been resolved; (5) the revised specifications would encourage competition by substantially reducing vendors' risks and removing an unnecessarily restrictive system specification; (6) FAA expected the revised specifications to result in technical benefits and cost savings; and (7) one vendor asked FAA for reimbursement of costs it incurred in preparing a proposal in response to the original solicitation, but at the time of the review, FAA had not responded to the protest and claim.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Computer Resources Nucleus (CORN) project. GAO found that: (1) FAA did not properly justify and plan CORN, which had major unresolved problems; (2) FAA claims about the causes of perceived problems with its Common System were poorly supported, as were its future requirements, raising doubts about the projects' justifications; (3) the FAA methodology for evaluating project technical and cost aspects was flawed and could have cost ramifications; (4) FAA cost estimates for the software conversion to CORN and the amount of support needed for the conversion were unreliable; (5) the estimated time frame for the conversion doubled from 18 months to 3 years, which led to more cost growth; and (6) the conversion would not result in better management information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal airport development grant programs include statutory preferences for domestic goods, commonly known as Buy America, Buy American, or Buy National provisions. These provisions have evolved from the 1933 Buy American Act ("BAA"), which applied to direct procurements of goods by federal government agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). Buy America provisions in transportation grant programs, on the other hand, apply to procurements made by recipients of federal grants, including state and local governments and airport authorities. The Buy America provision in the Airport Improvement Program (“AIP”), enacted in 1990, appears to have been designed as a particularly strict domestic preference requirement. However, there is no requirement in the AIP Buy America provision (as there is in other transportation grant provisions) for the FAA to publish the Buy America waivers that it grants. As a result, until recent years, the AIP Buy America provision has been the subject of very little scrutiny, guidance, or enforcement. Congressional oversight was expanded with passage of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act ("ARRA") economic stimulus program in 2009, which required the FAA to publish Buy America waivers for projects that received ARRA funds. Consequently, the FAA has published some waivers of the Buy America requirements, and has also published expanded guidance to help AIP grant recipients comply with the requirements. Although guidance and enforcement of the AIP Buy America provision is still evolving, there is now sufficient information publicly available to provide compliance guidance for most situations encountered by AIP grant recipients. This paper synthesizes all available information, including statutory and regulatory language, legislative history, administrative and judicial opinions, and agency guidance, to help airport sponsors and their contractors understand and comply with the Buy America requirements. The paper identifies areas where the FAA has directly adopted compliance tests used by other federal agencies in enforcing the BAA or other transportation grant Buy America provisions. The paper also identifies ways in which the AIP Buy America provision differs from its predecessors, where the FAA and its grant recipients should not rely on guidance provided by other agencies (involving similar but different statutes). Finally, the paper identifies areas where the FAA's interpretation of airport Buy America requirements may deviate from the Congressional intent or from the interpretation of nearly identical statutory language by other federal agencies.
