Book excerpt: The audit was initiated to follow up on actions taken by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics in response to Audit Report No. 99-116, "DoD Use of Multiple Award Task Order Contracts." During that audit, we identified 66 of 124 task orders that were issued on a sole-source basis without providing contractors a fair opportunity to be considered. To determine the extent of the problem and the progress being made, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics requested that each Military Department identify 10 multiple award task order situations and provide specific information on each multiple award situation on a semiannual basis for 1 year ending June 30, 2000. Multiple award contracting allows the Government to procure goods and services quickly, using streamlined acquisition procedures while obtaining the advantage of competition. The intent of multiple award contracts is to award contracts to technically well-qualified contractors in order to sustain competition and obtain the best value on task orders throughout the contract period.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned that federal agencies were avoiding competitive requirements when ordering under task- or delivery-order contracts, Congress, through the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA), directed agencies to consider awarding multiple contracts-rather than a single contract--when a task--or delivery-order contract format was planned. You asked us to determine (1) whether federal agencies were providing a fair opportunity for contractors to receive orders under multiple-award contracts, (2) how service fees assessed on interagency orders compared with agencies' costs to process such orders, and (3) if multiple-award contracts affected federal contracting opportunities for small businesses. As agreed, we reviewed a selected group of multiple-award contracts awarded by six federal organizations to acquire, among other things, information technology services, desktop and portable personal computer systems and related equipment and software, and general repairs and alterations for federal offices. We examined multiple-award contracts administered by six organizations-the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), the General Services Administration (GSA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Electronic Systems Center's Hanscom Air Force Base operations (ESc/HAFB) and Standard Systems Group (SSG). More information on the contracts we reviewed, as well as the scope and methodology of our work, is found in appendix I.

Book excerpt: Present procurement practices for purchase of commercial, commercial off-the-shelf, and non-developmental products and services take thirty days and sometimes years to procure and deliver to the end user.

Book excerpt: Competition is a critical tool for achieving the best return on the government's investment. While federal agencies are generally required to award contracts on the basis of full and open competition, they are permitted to award non-competitive contracts in certain situations. Agencies are also required to establish competition advocates to promote competition. This report assessed: (1) trends in non-competitive contracts and those receiving only one offer when competed; (2) exceptions to and factors affecting competition; (3) whether contracting approaches reflected sound procurement practices; and (4) how agencies are instituting the competition advocate role.
