B-197814



The Honorable Max Baucus, Chairman
Subcommittee on Limitations of
  Contracted and Delegated Authority
Committee on the Judiciary

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Subject: &SA's Planned Procurement of a Consolidated
                Tele phone System for the Washington, D.C.,
                Area(LCD-80-72)

     In your July 10, 1979, letter, you asked us to review
the General Services Administration's (GSA's) planned replace-
ment of existing multiple telephone systems, serving most
Federal civil organizations in the Washington, D.C., metro-
politan area, with a single consolidated system. The replace-
ment system was to be an interim measure while GSA completed
plans for a competitively procured follow-on system that would
satisfy the Government's long-term needs. (See enc. I.)

     You asked us to address the following questions:

     --Have other elements within GSA disputed the procure-
        ment policy being followed? If so, what were the
        specific objections and how have such disagreements
        been addressed?

      --Is the procurement being investigated by any entity
        within or outside GSA?

      --Is sole-source procurement of such a contract in
        the best interest of the Federal Government?

      --Does the size of the project make it fall under the
        provisions of Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
        Circular A-109?
