(IZ'S) contrdct with i&tional Educational Consultants, Inc. for
microfilming services focused on allegations and questics by
the president of Automated Informaticnal Betrieval SystemE,
Inc., an unsuccessful offeror. The allegations and responses to
them are as follows: (1) The contract bAd been awarded tc the
highest bidder, whereas it should have been avarded to the
lowest. The contract was awarded to neither the highest mor the
lowest offeror, and there was no legal requirement to award it
to the lowest bidder. (2) INS had changed contract
specifications following the award. INS changed four of the
specifications--one before award. ons_ at the tiae of award, and
two after the award. Clarification will be furnished on cne of
the chaaqes. (3) The ccatractor had nct completed the work on
time. This was xrue; INS extended the perfcrmance period twice*
and the bork is still ongoing. (4) 3PS had not declared tle
contractor in default for its low production rate. INS has not
terminated the contract for default but may obtain compensation
for damages. (5) The contractor had violated a Federal wago
determination. The Department of Labcr is investigating
allegations of wage law violations. (Author/HTI)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaaxvj0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
