Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Defense (DoD) is the largest user of other federal agencies' contracting services. The availability of these contracting services has enabled DoD & other departments to save time by paying other agencies to award & administer contracts for goods & services on their behalf. For example, DoD uses franchise funds (FF), which are government-run, fee-for-service organizations that provide a portfolio of services, including contracting services. This report assessed whether FF ensured fair & reasonable prices for goods & services, whether DoD analyzed purchasing alternatives, & whether DoD & FF ensured value by defining contract outcomes & overseeing contractor performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, federal agencies have increasingly turned to interagency contracts--where one agency, for example, places an order under an existing contract for another agency--as a way to streamline the procurement process. Interagency contracting can offer benefits of improved efficiency, but this approach needs to be effectively managed. To learn more about some of the challenges of interagency contracting, we reviewed the process that the Department of Defense (DOD) used to acquire interrogation and certain other services through the Department of the Interior to support military operations in Iraq. On behalf of DOD, Interior issued 11 task orders, valued at over $66 million, on an existing contract. This report identifies breakdowns in the procurement process, contributing factors that led to the breakdowns, and the extent to which recent actions by Interior and DOD address these contributing factors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both OFPP and GSA have implemented corrective actions to address the key interagency contracting issues identified in our 2010 report regarding the creation, use, and oversight of interagency contracts. Specifically, OFPP has developed a policy framework for the establishment and oversight of interagency contract vehicles, which focuses on ensuring that new interagency contracts demonstrate value through a sound business case. In response to our concerns regarding the lack of data to leverage, manage, and oversee these contracts, OFPP has taken steps to enhance the functionality of a database that provides information on interagency contracts. These actions are intended to make it easier for agency buyers to perform market research and improve the information available to OFPP on the use of these contracts. GSA also has initiated several efforts to improve the availability and use of pricing data on its Multiple Award Schedules program, a key interagency contract vehicle, with the goal of improving the ability of GSA and its customers to get better prices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Federal agencies spend over $50 billion annually on goods and services using interagency contracts, which leverage the government's buying power, simplify procuring commonly used goods and services, and allow agencies to use the contracts and expertise of other agencies. Agencies that operate interagency contracts and provide assisted acquisition services for other agencies recover their costs by charging a fee to their customers.In response to questions about fee rates and their composition, GAO assessed for selected interagency contracting programs (1) the current fee rates and trends in the fee rates, sales, costs, and revenues; (2) the extent to which programs subsidize, or are subsidized by, other programs; (3) the extent to which agencies identify, track, and forecast costs and revenues, manage reserves, and obtain approval for fee-rate changes; and (4) the extent to which agencies use contractor personnel to supplement program staffing.GAO analyzed data on six interagency contract programs at four agencies-General Services Administration (GSA), Department of the Interior (DOI), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Institutes of Health (NIH); reviewed agency policies; and interviewed officials from the agencies' program, policy, and financial offices.

Book excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has some of the most extensive acquisition needs within the federal government. In fiscal year 2005, DHS spent $17.5 billion on contracted purchases, $6.5 billion, or 37 percent, of which was through the use of other agencies' contracts and contracting services, a process known as interagency contracting. While these types of contracts offer the benefits of efficiency and convenience, in January 2005, GAO noted shortcomings and designated the management of interagency contracting as a governmentwide high-risk area. Given the department's critical national security mission and the results of our earlier work, GAO reviewed the extent to which DHS manages the risks of interagency contracting and assessed DHS' guidance, planning, and oversight of interagency contracting.
