Daniel, Jr.II111111 House of Representatives 111994 Dear Mr. Daniel: Subject: 'rocurement Procedures Used by the Naval Ships Parts Control Center, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvani(PSAD-80-38) 1+, e 11 i /- As requested in your December 12, 1979, letter, we have inuired into the procedures used in procuring wooden pallets y the al Ships Parts Control Center SP Mechanics- burg, Penns SPCC made seven emergency purchases of wooden pallets (the type used in the grocery industry) from December 7, 1978, to December 20, 1979. The purchases ranged from $33,500 to $114,000 and totaled about $458,000. SPCC made the purchases at the request of the Defense Depot in Mechanicsburg because the Defense General Supply Center in Ricbmena. Virainia, which had responsibility ror procuring the pallets, had not supplied the item to the depot and the depot urgently needed the item. SPCC awarded all but the last of the seven contracts based on oral solicitations of quotations. SPCC officials noted that oral solicitations were used to save time and that the depot had indicated the need was urgent. Procure- ment regulations permit oral solicitation of quotations when the processing of a written solicitation would delay the furnishing of the supplies or services to the Government's detriment. Regarding other issues you raised, the oral quota- tions documented in the seven records of contract actions indicate that the low bidder received the contract each time and each contract contained written specifications for recommended pallets for the grocery industry. /..... ,,,, (990516)
