REPORT BY THE U S.
General Accounting Office












Stronger Controls Needed

Over Federal Agency Contracting

For Moving And Labor Services



Millions of dollars in contracts are awarded by
the Federal Government every year to move
furniture, supplies, and equipment from one
Federal office location to another and for
other labor services. Most agencies use a flexi-
ble contracting arrangement which enables the
agency to order moving services when needed,
paying based on the hours worked by contrac-
tor employees.

However, Federal agencies using these con-
tracts did not provide adequate controls and
contract management and, in many cases, paid
higher prices for services than necessary. Fur-
thermore, GAO found that in many instances
Government employees were improperly su-
pervising the contractor employees.

GAO's recommendations will enable the Gov-
ernment to take advantage of possible savings
and to eliminate the potential for misuse and
abuse of these contracts.
