The Senate Armed Services Committee report on the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 expressed concerns that DOD may not be competing service contracts as much as it could. The Senate committee report directed us to report on competition for DOD contracts and task orders for services.[1] Accordingly, we examined (1) how competition rates for services compare to competition rates for products, and trends in competition for services; (2) the reasons for noncompetitive contracts and task orders for services; and (3) steps DOD has taken to increase competition for services.
