Book Description
The Dept. of Defense (DoD) is the largest user of other federal agencies' contracting services. The availability of these contracting services has enabled DoD & other departments to save time by paying other agencies to award & administer contracts for goods & services on their behalf. For example, DoD uses franchise funds (FF), which are government-run, fee-for-service organizations that provide a portfolio of services, including contracting services. This report assessed whether FF ensured fair & reasonable prices for goods & services, whether DoD analyzed purchasing alternatives, & whether DoD & FF ensured value by defining contract outcomes & overseeing contractor performance. Charts & tables.
