Report To The Mayor

Of The District Of Columbia


NTING OFFICE


The District Is Working To Increase

Competition And Ensure Reasonable Prices

For Supply And Service Contracts


GAO reviewed 19 District of Columbia procurement
actions worth $8 million that were processed near the
end of fiscal year 1982 and found that the District
awarded 13 contracts--6 formally advertised and 7
negotiated--for supplies and services without com-
petition District procurement regulations require that
competition be obtained to the maximum extent
practical

GAO also found little or no evidence in six negotiated
procurements to show that reasonable prices were
paid. In addition, District officials did not take ade-
quate steps to ensure that reasonable prices were
paid in five of the formally advertised procurements
for which only one qualified bid was received

The District has implemented several GAO sug-
gestions to increase competition, provide additional
assurance that reasonable prices are obtained, and
strengthen other procurement procedures It has also
agreed to implement further actions that GAO is
recommending to enhance implementation and
oversight of procurement practices
