(See encl. I.) We briefed your staff on the results of our review on January 12 and April 2, 1982, and held a closeout briefing on June 3, 1983. This is a written summary of our re- sponse to the issues you raised and a report on the status of the current acquisition. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY The objectives of our review were to determine --the scope and viability of the S120-million DLDED program, --whether competitive sources were available that could fulfill the Army's requirements, --whether a sole source procurement of IBM equipment was justified, and --whether the contractual agreements for DLDED were proper and valid and in the best interests of the Government. We conducted our review at the General Services Administra- tion; the Small Business Administration (SBA) headquarters and dis- trict offices in Washington, D.C.; the Army Computer Systems Com- mand at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, Department of the Army at the Pen- tagon; and the Defense Contract Audit Agency in Silver Spring, Maryland.
