Executive Branch Actions on Recommendations of the Commission on Government Procurement

Abstract

This is our sixth report replying to your Committee's request that GAO monitor executive branch actions on the 149 recommendations of the Commission on Government Procurement. Although considerable progress had been made, special attention is needed by the executive branch or the Congress on about one-third of the recommendations. Several suggested for early congressional consideration include (1) enacting a modern, unified statute for Federal procurement, (2) adopting new research and development budgeting, authorizing, and funding procedures for Federal systems acquisition, (3) streamlining application of socioeconomic programs in the procurement process, and (4) mandating a policy guidance study for Federal grant-type assistance programs.
