 <title>Interagency Contracting: Problems with DOD&apos;s and Interior&apos;s Orders to Support Military Operations</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>In recent years, federal agencies have increasingly turned to
interagency contracts--where one agency, for example, places an  
order under an existing contract for another agency--as a way to 
streamline the procurement process. Interagency contracting can  
offer benefits of improved efficiency, but this approach needs to
be effectively managed. To learn more about some of the 	 
challenges of interagency contracting, we reviewed the process	 
that the Department of Defense (DOD) used to acquire		 
interrogation and certain other services through the Department  
of the Interior to support military operations in Iraq. On behalf
of DOD, Interior issued 11 task orders, valued at over $66	 
million, on an existing contract. This report identifies	 
breakdowns in the procurement process, contributing factors that 
led to the breakdowns, and the extent to which recent actions by 
Interior and DOD address these contributing factors.</abstract>
