Army Corps of Engineers Sole-Source Section (8a) Contracts for Dredging Services.

Abstract

This audit was performed as a result of a congressional request. Representative Jan Meyers, Chairperson, House Committee on Small Business, received complaints that the sole-source contracts for dredging services that the Norfolk and Buffalo Districts, Army Corps of Engineers, (the Districts) awarded under the Small Business Administration Section 8(a) Program were overpriced. The complaint was also that one of the Section 8(a) contractors was not performing the dredging work with its own assets, but that the contractor was acting as a broker and subcontracting out the work after contract award.
