Coalition Provisional Authority's Contracting Processes Leading Up To and Including Contract Award

Abstract

Exercising the authority granted to them by the Administrator of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the CPA Contracting Activity, Iraq Project and Contracting Office informed us that it had awarded 1,988 contracts, grants, and purchase and delivery orders valued at approximately $1.04 billion as of April 4, 2004. Of this total, 1,928 contracts valued at approximately $847 million were awarded with Development Funds for Iraq (DFI). The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) issued Coalition Provisional Authority Memorandum No. 4 (the Memorandum), Contract and Grant Procedures Applicable to Vested and Seized Iraqi Property and the Developmental Fund for Iraq, August 19, 2003, to establish procedures applicable to the execution of contracts and grants using Iraqi funds for the benefit of the Iraqi people. Although the use of Iraqi funds is not subject to the same laws and regulations that apply to U.S. appropriated funds, the CPA was expected to manage Iraqi funds in a transparent manner that fully comported with CPA obligations under international law, including United Nations Security Council Resolution 1483.
