REPORT BY THE


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES




Federal Regulations Need To Be Revised

To Fully Realize The Purposes Of

The Competition In Contracting Act Of 1984


This report addresses several issues relating to
executive agencies' implementation of the Competi-
tion in Contracting Act of 1984 in federal acquisition
regulations. The purposes of the act were to enhance
competition and better limit unnecessary sole-source
contracting.
GAO found that some provisions in two government-
wide regulations--the Federal Acquisition Regulation
and the Federal Information Resources Management
Regulation--need to be revised to be consistent with
the requirements of the act or with congressional
intent, as expressed in the House and Senate Confe-
rence Committee report on the act. Other provisions
need to be revised to better implement the act's
objectives. GAO also found that some agencies and
subagencies had not properly revised their acqui-
sition regulations to conform to the act.
GAO makes recommendations to revise the Federal
Acquisition Regulation, the Federal Information Re-
sources Management Regulation, and various agencies'
and subagencies' acquisition regulations.
