Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the General Services Administration's (GSA) management and acquisition of computer hardware and software under the Brooks Act, focusing on how GSA can better ensure that federal agencies efficiently and effectively procure automatic data processing (ADP) resources. GAO found that: (1) federal agencies spend over $6 billion annually to acquire the essential hardware and software that comprises over 50,000 federal computer systems; (2) although GSA has taken some positive steps to effectively discharge its governmentwide ADP oversight activities, its actions still result in poorly designed, poorly managed procurements; (3) staff instability, an increasing work load, and inadequate recordkeeping and office procedures have limited GSA ability to properly review agency procurement requests (APR); (4) the information reported under the Federal Information Resources Management (IRM) Review Program is not useful because it is incomplete and GSA does not validate whether the information is accurate; and (5) GSA is considering ways to improve its oversight activities, but has not performed the analysis necessary to determine what changes are needed.
