The Authority was given the authority to award contracts itself and to review and approve contracts awarded by the District. GAO found that the Authority did not always comply with its procurement regulations and procedures or follow sound contracting principles when it awarded and administered the nine contracts GAO assessed. In addition, the Authority's files for these contracts were incomplete. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-99-134/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-99-134.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-99-134/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GGD-99-134.pdf GAO/GGD-99-134 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-99-134 Letter Report GAO/GGD-99-134; District of Columbia: Authority Needs to Improve Its; Noncompliance Reporting requirements Sole source procurement State and local procurement Irregular procurement Procurement policy Procurement practices Internal controls Public Law 104-8 Public Law 105-33
