Summary:

GAO discussed the Smithsonian Institution's site selection process for an extension to the National Air and Space Museum. GAO noted that the Smithsonian: (1) site selection process was not systematic, open, or cost-conscious enough to ensure the selection of the most cost-effective site; (2) failed to rank its requirements or distinguish between essential and desirable attributes; (3) never publicly announced its needs, and therefore had no assurance that the three offers it received encompassed all potentially competitive sites; and (4) failed to completely analyze the three proposals.
