Book excerpt: Government contracting is plagued by nefarious, amateurish, and criminal behavior. By awarding government contracts to corporations as compensation for lavish gifts and personal favors, the United States government fails to serve the public interest effectively and honestly. William Sims Curry identifies and categorizes multiple deficiencies in how government contractors are selected, and proposes how reforms can be instituted.This book is based on extensive research. Curry sifted through two years worth of contractor claims maintained by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) regarding improper behavior of federal government agencies during the contract award process. He identified additional government contracting failures through review of media stories, inspector general reports, court cases, and press releases by government investigatory agencies.Much of this abuse originates from the mandated but ineffective practice of color coding rating proposals and a subjective ratings system. Curry proposes replacing the current practice with a scoring system that weighs contractor selection criteria according to the government's needs. This, along with the other procurement reforms Curry recommends, offers promise for an alternative to the fraud, waste, and incompetence currently rampant in government contracting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The amount spent on government contracts, coupled with widely reported contractor misconduct, has generated congressional interest in debarment and suspension (D&S). Debarment or suspension of contractors is one means agencies use to ensure that they deal only with contractors who are responsible in fulfilling their legal and contractual obligations. Debarment removes a contractor¿s eligibility for government contracts for a fixed period of time, while suspension temporarily debars a contractor for the duration of an agency investigation or litigation. Contents of this report: (1) Overview of D&S: Statutory D&S; Administrative D&S; (2) Recently Enacted and Proposed Amendments; (3) Conclusion. Charts and tables.

Download or read book Contractor Whistleblower Protections Pilot Program written by U. S. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Whistleblowers play an important role in safeguarding the federal government against fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 introduced a pilot program to expand whistleblower rights against reprisal for executive agencies' contractors, subcontractors, and grantee employees. Also, in 2013, the FAR was amended to require agencies to insert a contract clause to ensure contractors communicate rights to their employees for certain contracts. The act also contained a provision for GAO to report on the status of the pilot program. This report: (1) describes the results of the whistleblower pilot program across 14 selected executive departments from July 1, 2013, to December 31, 2015 and (2) assesses the extent to which four departments implemented the pilot program. GAO analyzed survey data from 14 executive departments, which are a subset of all entities covered by the legislation; selected four departments based on high and low contract funds awarded to conduct a more detailed review of the pilot program implementation; interviewed agency officials and contractors; and reviewed a non-generalizable sample of contracts included in the pilot program.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. In FY 2009, the fed. gov¿t. obligated over $500 billion on gov¿t. contracts. Some are concerned that private companies may be awarded fed. contracts even though they had been cited for violating fed. laws that are meant to ensure that employees receive proper wages, have the right to bargain collectively, and are not subject to work-site hazards. This report: (1) investigated the extent to which companies that received fed. contracts during FY 2009 had been assessed the 50 largest monetary penalties for closed inspections of occupational safety, health, and wage regulations for FY 2005 through 2009; and (2) developed case studies of fed. contractors that have been assessed occupational safety, health, wage, and collective bargaining penalties.
