Report To The Chairman, Commitee

On Labor And Human Resources





Information On Labor's Awards To

The Opportunities Industrialization

Centers Of America

From fiscal years 1 974 to 1982, Labor awarded about $27
million in sole-source contracts to the Opportunities Indus-
trialization Centers of America, Inc. (OIC/A), so that it
could provide technical assistance to help its local affiliates
improve the management and operations of their training
and job placement programs. The contracts were awarded
without
   --justifying fully the sole-source decision,
   --determining the extent of assistance needed
   by local affiliates,
   --evaluating past effectiveness in providing technical
   assistance, and
   --detailing award objectives which could be used to
   measure progress.
Local OICs were generally satisfied with the technical
assistance which OIC/A had provided. Documentation,
however, was not available to show the extent, type, and
impact of OIC/A's assistance.
Labor, in response to previous GAO reports on contract
award and administration, has taken actions which should
correct many of the problems discussed in this report. GAO
recommends that future contracts be awarded competi-
tively and suggests additional actions to facilitate the
administration of future awards of this type.
