Effective Management Of Computer

Leasing Needed To Reduce

Government Costs


Federal agencies spent about $1.1 billion to lease
computer hardware in fiscal year 1983. GAO believes
agencies that intend to retain installed computer
technology can save on existing leases by

   --buying already installed equipment, where ap-
   propriate;

   --refinancing existing leases;

   --exercising contract options to change from lease
   to installment purchase; or

   --reusing excess government-owned or govern-
   ment-leased equipment.

Although agencies can do much to improve their
leasing practices, leadership, funding, and support
are needed from the Office of Management and
Budget and the General Services Administration to
realize the potential cost savings. This report makes
recommendations to the Director, Office of Man-
agement and Budget; the Administrator of General
Services; and federal agency heads for actions that
can help them obtain savings.
