Inquiry Concerning Denial of Contracts to Low Offeror for Army Translation Services.

Abstract

This report is in reply to your joint letter of January 29, 1981, in which you provided us with a series of articles published in a Tennessee newspaper--the Kingsport Times-News--in early January 1981. These articles questioned the Army's bidding practices in awarding purchase orders for language translation services. You asked us to investigate allegations regarding whether your constituent's low bids for translation work were regularly passed over; your constituent was denied contracts without explanation; and there was any evidence of fraud, conflict of interest, deception, or improper circumvention of Army procurement regulations.
