Army Procurement - Fort Benjamin Harrison's Commercial Activity Study Should Be Redone or Updated: Nsiad-89-90 (Paperback)


Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO evaluated the ongoing commercial activity study for base support operations at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, focusing on whether the: (1) study complies with applicable procedures and regulations; and (2) base has gathered sufficient data to permit converting the planned cost-plus-award-fee contract to a fixed-price contract if it determines that action to be advantageous. GAO found that: (1) the base did not comply with all applicable procedures and regulations, since it did not use current, accurate work-load data to ensure equitable cost comparisons; (2) because the base has not updated the study's work-load data since fiscal year 1985, the data may not accurately reflect the base's requirements; and (3) although the Federal Acquisition Regulation encouraged the use of fixed-price contracts, the base proposed a cost-type contract because it had not collected the data needed to permit fixed-price contracting.
