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. Charts & tables.

Fed. agencies have turned to interagency contracts (IC) -- where one agency places an order under an existing contract for another agency -- as a way to streamline the procurement process. IC can offer benefits of improved efficiency, but this approach needs to be effectively managed. This report reviewed the process that the DoD used to acquire interrogation & certain other serv. through the Dept. of the Interior to support mil. oper. in Iraq. On behalf of DoD, Interior issued 11 task orders, valued at $66 million, on an existing contract. This report identifies breakdowns in the procurement process, contributing factors that led to the breakdowns, & the extent to which recent actions by Interior & DoD address these contributing factors.

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.

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.
