COMMUNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION B-219836 August 15,1985 The Honorable Mike Synar Chairman, Subcommittee on Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Committee on Government Operations House of Representatives 127881 Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation's Contracting Policies and Practices for Consulting Services (GAO/RCED-85-162) As requested in your April 4, 1985, letter and in subsequent meetings with your office, we are providing information on the contracting policies and practices of the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC) for consulting services. Specifically, we are reporting on --SFC's policies and practices for awarding contracts for consulting services; --the extent SFC (1) awards consultant contracts on a compet- itive basis, (2) compares the costs of contracting for ser- vices versus hiring permanent employees, and (3) monitors contractor performance; --the results of applying certain federal procurement regula- tions to SFC's contracting practices; --the types of products or services rendered; and --the levels of compensation and travel reimbursements. We obtained this information generally by reviewing SFC's files for the 79 contracts awarded to individual consultants and consulting firms between October 1, 1983, and April 30, 1985, and interviewing SFC officials responsible for developing contracting policies and practices, monitoring contractor performance, and using consultants' products.
