Small Business Contracting: Updated Guidance and Reporting Needed for Consolidated Contracts

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) and the General Services Administration (GSA) - which accounted for more than 80 percent of the consolidated contracts reported by all federal agencies in fiscal years 2011 and 2012 - do not know the full extent to which they are awarding consolidated contracts. This is the result of contracts being misreported in the federal procurement data system. GAO reviewed 157 contracts - more than half of all DOD and GSA contracts that were reported as consolidated - and found that 34 percent of the DOD contracts and all of the GSA contracts in fact were not consolidated. GAO also identified four DOD contracts with consolidated requirements that were not reported as such.
