Concerns about Federal Acquisition Service’s pricing analyses

The General Services Administration should cancel the Transactional Data Reporting pilot because of pricing problems according to GSA’s Office of Inspector General. The IG says the pilot doesn’t result in a viable pricing methodology after a six-year test run. Barbara Bouldin, deputy assistant inspector general for acquisition audits at General Services Administration Office of Inspector General, and Thomas Tripple, regional inspector general for auditing at GSA OIG’s Mid-Atlantic Region Audit Office, explain what they saw from the pilot program and what they recommend the Federal Acquisition Service should do moving forward.
