Report Date July 28, 1986
Report No. IMTEC-86-27
Subject
Summary:

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed various aspects of the Department of the Interior's effort to revise its automated Collection Management Information System.

GAO found that: (1) Interior did not adequately justify its rationale for revising the system; (2) the contract to revise the system was not subject to federal procurement regulations because Interior awarded it under the Small Business Act; (3) in evaluating contractor proposals, Interior did not document the evaluation's results and the selection process it used; (4) its quality assurance test was not statistically valid; and (5) as of June 20, 1986, it had not finalized its approach for ensuring data accuracy and providing trained staff to update and maintain the data. GAO could not determine the system's ability to track cases and generate reports because the revised system was not operational and Interior had not finalized documentation on its design.
