COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES
~ -      'WASHINGTON D C. 2034R


December 17, 1980


B-200948


RELEASED


The Honorable Jack Brooks
Chairman, Committee on Government
  Operations
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Subject: f eview of General Services Administration's
               Acquisition of ADP Resource (AFMD-81-21)

     Your July 14, 1980, letter requested that we review the
General Services Administration's (GSA's) plans to (1) acquire
automatic data processing (ADP) resources (which GSA decided
to conduct in accordance with Office of Management and
Budget Circular A-109, Ma3or Systems Acquisition, April 5,
1976); and (2) further extend the interim sole-source of the
Computer Sciences Corporation INFONET (CSC) contracts for
teleprocessing services. You also requested that we orally
report our findings to your committee staff no later than
November 30, 1980.

     Our October 24, 1980, letter report (AFMD 81-15) covered
our findings on the CSC contracts. In a meeting on December 1,
1980, with your committee staff, it was agreed that we also
would send you a letter on (1) our findings on GSA's long
range plan to acquire ADP resources to support its internal
data processing requirements; and (2) our increasing concerns
with GSA's plans to remove certain of its ADP applications
from CSC. Both sub3ects are discussed in the enclosure
to this letter.

     In summary, we concluded that GSA has not, thus far,
conducted its acquisition of ADP resources in accordance with
OMB Circular A-109; nor will it meet its current milestones
for acquiring its long range ADP resources. As a result of

                                                (913659)
