D.C. 2014- B-200948 The Honorable Jack Brooks, Chairman OT 24 Wu Committee on Government Operations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: L eview of GSA's Acquisition of ADP Resources) (AFMD-81-15) Your July 14, 1980, letter requested that we review the General Services Administration (GSA) plans to acquire auto- matic data processing (ADP) resources to support its internal data processing requirements. Specifically, you expressed con- cern about GSA's continued reliance on sole-source, noncom- petitive extensions of the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) INFONET contracts for teleprocessing services. These exten- sions have been justified by GSA as interim solutions until its planned long-range acquisition of ADP resources is com- pleted. This acquisition has been in process for at least 4 years, but GSA still has not completed the action. In addition, GSA is now planning yet another sole-source, non- competitive extension of the INFONET contracts. We intend to provide you with our final report on the information you requested in your July 14 letter by November 30, 1980, but we are making this interim report to advise you of GSA's current actions. INFONET CONTRACTS FOR TELEPROCESSING SERVICES On March 21, 1972, GSA awarded a fixed-price requirements- type contract to CSC IN'ONET, known as the National Teleproc- essing Services (NTS) contract. This contract was a mandatory source for all Government users requiring teleprocessing serv- ices and consisted of interactive timesharing and remote batch access to a common data base under a nationwide teleprocess- ing network.) The initial contract period, subject to annual renewals, was not to exceed 54 months. However, 103 months have now passed since the award of this contract, and the current extensions run to 1981 and 1983 for two dedicated systems. 111111H (913659) 113881 5/9 61~/6
