I) and in subsequent discussions with your office, we have reviewed the reservation and award of Section 8(a) Small Business Act contracts to Arcata Associates, Inc. (Arcata) to determine --whether the allegations made by the BDM Services Company (BDM) to the Small Business Administration (SBA) are valid and --to what extent SBA's management of the 8(a) program is deficient in this situation. On December 4, 1980, we briefed your office on the results of our review and, at your request, are providing this written report. In addition to your inquiry, the BDM allegations have become the focus of an investigation by the SBA Inspector General, and the subject of hearings before the Senate Select Committee on Small Business. BDM also filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. The court denied the injunction based on the finding of an insufficient showing of likelihood of success on the merits. The suit, however, is still pending before the court. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY We conducted our review at SBA headquarters in Washington, D.C.; the SBA district and regional offices in San Francisco, California; the De rtment of the Army Materiel Development and Readiness CommandI nAexandria, Virginia; the Sacramento Army Depot in Sacramento, California; Mare Island Naval Station in Vallejo, California; Eglin Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach, Florida; and Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada. /(91 jg
