DOE Contracting: Better Performance Measures and Management Needed to Address Delays in Awarding Contracts
The Department of Energy (DOE), the largest civilian contracting
agency in the federal government, spends over 90 percent of its
annual budget on contracts to operate its facilities and carry
out its diverse missions. Federal law and regulations outline the
steps DOE must follow in planning and carrying out the contract
award process and emphasize the importance of awarding contracts
in a timely manner. Several of DOE's recent contracts have taken
much longer than anticipated to award. GAO was asked to determine
(1) the extent to which DOE has experienced delays in awarding
contracts and factors contributing to delays, (2) the impacts of
any such delays, and (3) the extent to which DOE has taken steps
to address the delays.
