ADP Acquistions: OCC's (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's) Procurement of Laser Printers Is Proper but ADP Statutes Apply

摘要

The report reviews the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) $1.3 million procurement of laser printer equipment to support its field offices. It determines whether OCC had a valid rationale for placing more weight on technical rather than on cost considerations in selecting the winning vendor. In addition, it determines whether OCC is bound by the Brooks Act and the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. It was determined that OCC (1) had a valid rationale in establishing the technical evaluation criteria used in acquiring its laser printers, (2) reflected this rationale in its evaluation criteria, and (3) is subject to the Brooks Act and the Competition in Contracting Act.
