Competition is the cornerstone of a sound acquisition process and a critical tool for achieving the best return on investment for taxpayers. In FY 2012, the Dept. of Defense (DOD) obligated $359 billion through contracts and task orders, of which 57% was competed. DOD also obligates billions of dollars annually on contracts that are awarded competitively, but for which the government received only one offer. DOD implemented the Better Buying Power initiative in 2010, in an effort to increase competition. This report discusses DOD’s non-competitive and one-offer contracts. It examined (1) trends in DOD’s use of noncompetitive awards; (2) factors influencing DOD’s competition rate; (3) the extent to which justifications provided insight into the reasons for noncompetitive awards; and (4) the impact of DOD’s new requirement for competitive solicitations that only elicit one offer. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

"Competition is the cornerstone of a sound acquisition process and a critical tool for achieving the best return on investment for taxpayers. In fiscal year 2012, DOD obligated $359 billion through contracts and task orders, of which 57 percent was competed. DOD also obligates billions of dollars annually on contracts that are awarded competitively, but for which the government received only one offer. DOD implemented the Better Buying Power initiative in 2010, in an effort to increase competition.The conference report for the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 directed GAO to report on DOD's non-competitive and one-offer contracts. GAO examined (1) trends in DOD's use of noncompetitive awards; (2) factors influencing DOD's competition rate; (3) the extent to which justifications provided insight into the reasons for noncompetitive awards; and (4) the impact of DOD's new requirement for competitive solicitations that only elicit one offer. GAO analyzed federal procurement data for fiscal years 2008 through 2012, reviewed DOD policy and competition reports, examined nongeneralizable samples of awards, and interviewed DOD officials."
