How Selected DOD Consolidation Efforts

Affected Small Business Opportunities




By law, small businesses are to have the
maximum practicable opportunity to partic-
,ipate in the performance of Government
contracts.

When the Army consolidated selected re-
quirements at the 7th Signal Command,
Fort Ritchie, Maryland, and the Communi-
cations Systems Agency, Fort Monmouth,
New Jersey, small business firms found it
difficult to compete for awards.


Although the commands consolidated re-
quirements on the basis of expected cost
savings, GAO did not find that these deci-
sions were supported by adequate economic
analyses. GAO recommends that the Secre-
tary of Defense consider a procurement
approach permitting bids on one or more
installations or functions. Such an approach
offers more prime contract opportunities for
small firms while allowing the contracting
officer to obtain the lowest overall cost to
the Government.
