Planning Procedures for Computer Resources in the Department of the Interior

Gao ID: FGMSD-77-68 August 9, 1977

A survey of planning procedures for computer resources in the Department of the Interior showed that the National Park Service had not complied with the plans and decisions of the central automatic data processing policy officer of the Department.

The National Park Service continues to use a vendor as the major source of its computer services under extensions of a sole-source contract first awarded in September 1972. The Department has estimated that $30,000 to $40,000 a month could be saved through a competitive procurement of these services.
