handle is hein.gao/gaobabbfb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACC0',NTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 PROcUORKMKNT AND GYSTKMO NOVEMBER 10, 1980 ACQUISITION DIVISION B-200477j 113713 The Honorable Patricia Roberts Harris The Secretary of Health and Human Services The Honorable Philip M. Klutznick The Secretary of Commerce The Honorable Charles W. Duncan, Jr. The Secretary of Energy The Honorable Max Cleland Administrator of Veterans Affairs Subject: Civil Agencies Can Improve the Performance of Technical Evaluations (PSAD-81-9) We have completed a review of technical evaluations of 18 noncompetitive contract proposals. The objective of the review was to determine if technical evaluations were ade- quately performed and reported to the contracting officers for use in negotiating the noncompetitive contract prices. The contracts that resulted from these proposals have a value of about $13,211,000. (See enc. I for details on these con- tracts.) Seventeen of the proposals (whose contract value totals about $12.4 million) received no technical evalua- tion or an inadequate evaluation. Therefore, there is no assurance that the prices negotiated are fair and reasonable. The 18 proposals reviewed were selected from 88 fixed- price, noncompetitive contracts awarded in fiscal year 1979 by Washington, D.C., area procurement offices of the Depart- ment of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health, the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Energy, and the Veterans Administration. These proposals were selected because they were essentially the largest contracts awarded by these agencies. (950564)
