Description

In prior work, the author found that federal contractors were paid billions of dollars in award fees regardless of acquisition outcomes. In Dec. 2007, the Office of Mgmt. and Budget (OMB) issued guidance aimed at improving the use of award fee contracts. This report: (1) identifies agencies' actions to revise or develop award fee policies and guidance to reflect OMB guidance; (2) assess the consistency of current practices with the new guidance; and (3) determine the extent agencies are collecting, analyzing, and sharing information on award fees. The author reviewed DoD, DoE, HHS, DHS and NASA -- agencies that constituted over 95% of the dollars spent on award fee contracts in FY 2008. Includes recommend. Charts and tables.
