UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 RELEASED JULY 7, 1980 The Honorable Max Baucus, Chairman Subcommittee on Limitations of Contracted and Delegated Authority Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: j tudy of the Effects of Changes in the Contract Appeals Board System under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978J(PSAD-80-55) In your September 17, 1979, letter you asked us to study the effects of changes in the contract appeals board system under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, Public Law 95-563, November 1, 1978. During our initial audit work, we reviewed Boards of Contract Appeals activities at four executive agencies. We talked to the chairman of each board visited and to officials from the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), Office of Management and Budget, and Office of Personnel Management (OPM). We also attempted to get responses to the 14 specific questions in your letter. On the basis of the results of our initial efforts, we believe it is too soon to analyze how the Contract Disputes Act has affected the board system. Overall, Federal policy is still being developed, and relatively few cases have yet been processed under the new procedures. Therefore, as agreed with your office, we discontinued our audit work and, instead, summarized what has been done to implement the act and iden- tified factors affecting that implementation. We addressed your 14 questions in the enclosure to this letter. ACT TO RESOLVE CONTRACT CLAIMS In 1972 the Commission on Government Procurement re- viewed the Federal appeals board process.
