Both the Department of Defense Inspector General (IG) and Department of Interior IG office issued a report this month detailing the work accomplished by DOI on behalf of DoD. The reports detailed the shortcomings of the GovWorks office in Northern Virginia and the Southwest Acquisition Branch located at Fort Huachucha, AZ. Some of the findings include lack of competition and lack of documentation regarding the price reasonableness of the awarded contracts.
There is also a big issue regarding use of expried funds. There were almost $400 million in "potentially expired" funds parked at the GovWorks office.
Like previous interagency contract reports recently handed down, the DoDIG keeps bandying around the bona fide need rule. As if anyone pays attention to that- at least outside of contracting.
For more, check out the report. Also, the DoD IG site and the DOI IG website are good places to find reports related to contracting.
