New GAO Report on Federal Contracting

Federal Contracting: Opportunities Exist to Increase Competition and Assess Reasons When Only One Offer Is Received, GAO-10-833, July 26, 2010

  • “You asked us to review federal agencies’ use of noncompetitive contracts and competitively awarded contracts in which only one offer was received. Accordingly, we determined (1) the extent to which agencies have awarded noncompetitive contracts and contracts awarded competitively with only one offer received; (2) the exceptions to competition that agencies used when awarding noncompetitive contracts; (3) some of the factors that affect competition in federal contracting; and (4) the extent to which the contracting approaches for the contracts in our sample reflect sound procurement or management practices. You also asked us to describe how agencies are instituting the roles of their competition advocates.”
