REPORT BY THE US,



General Accounting Office


Army Justification For Awarding

A Sole Source Contract For

Automated Calibration Equipment


At DOD's direction, the Army awarded a
sole source contract to Julie Research Lab-
oratories, Inc. (JRL) in May 1982 for six
units of automated calibration equipment
costing about $800,000. The award had
been preceded by considerable controversy,
with media coverage and congressional hear-
ings, on JRL's efforts to obtain an Army
contract The Army cited as justification for
the award 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(16) which
authorizes contracts if a company is vital to
the mobilization base and in danger of going
Out of business without the contract.


122639


GAO questions the contract award since the
Army had a requirement for only one system
for test purposes and recommends that
further procurement of automated calibra-
tion equipment, other than those needed for                          I
test purposes, be delayed until the Army
determines its requirements.
