Cohen, Chairman The Honorable Carl Levin, Ranking Minority Member Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate 126894 Subject: i Limited Survey of the Need o Delay Implementa- ..tion of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (GAO/OGC-85-5) In a letter dated August 1, 1984, you jointly requested that our Office establish an interdivisional task force to review the implementation of, and subsequent compliance with, the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (the act). As you know, the act is intended to increase the use of competition in contracting. As agreed with the two Committees, we plan to provide you with a report covering the period at least up to and a little beyond the act's April 1, 1985, implementation date. The report will summarize the task force's work on federal agencies' efforts to implement the act. As part of the task force effort, the Committees, on March 19, 1985, also requested that we --perform a limited survey, by telephone, of the level of readiness of selected federal organizations to begin implementing the act on April 1, 1985, as required and --provide the results in a briefing to your Offices the following day. After performing the survey and summarizing the results at the March 20, 1985, briefing, the two Committees asked us to provide the survey results in writing. We were requested to perform the survey because of continuing rumors of (1) anticipated problems at some federal agency locations in meeting the act's implementation date and (2) a need for the implementation date to be delayed or extended.
