Report on the inspection of the policies and procedures for the designation and continuation of the Department of Energy`s Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
By a memorandum dated September 16, 1992, Office of Federal Procurement Policy OFPP requested that the DOE, Office of Inspector General, conduct a ``special`` audit of the nature and adequacy of DOE`s FFRDC sole-source renegotiation justifications developed since 1985. The OFPP request was based on a July 8, 1992 Senate Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management report entitled ``Inadequate Federal Oversight of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers,`` which detailed the need for strengthened federal controls over FFRDCs. The Office of Inspector General initiated an inspection in order to review and describe the Department`s history of designating its research laboratories as FFRDCs, and to review the Department`s compliance with the OFPP policy and procedures for establishing and renewing its FFRDCs. We also reviewed DOE`s sole-source renegotiation justifications to non-competitively extend its M&O contractors that manage DOE`s FFRDCs since September 30, 1984.
