Report To The Congress

The Department Of Energy Needs Better

Procedures For Selecting A Contractor

To Operate Argonne National Laboratory


Argonne National Laboratory is a multipro-
gram research and development laboratory
operated by contractors for the Department
of Energy. The Laboratory employs about
5,200 people with an annual operating budget
of about $295 million.                                    I(li111LI


GAO evaluated DOE's process for awarding
the Argonne contract and found that major
improvements are needed. Specifically, DOE
needs to

    --determine the availability and poten-
    tial benefits of competition;

    --periodically evaluate the contractors'
    performances, and feed back the
    results to the contractors;

    --enforce the contract terms; and

    --end the two-contractor arrangement.

In addition, Argonne's role in carrying out
DOE's programs must be decided to assist in
selecting an operating contractor and in plan-
ning major laboratory facilities and equipment.
