Information Technology Omnibus Procurement (ITOP)
Summary
This audit was also directed by the House Appropriations Committee in the Conference Report accompanying the Department's FY'02 appropriations. The objectives are to determine whether: (1) the ITOP procurement vehicle is so broad and flexible that it could be used by DOT agencies to evade departmental oversight or congressional scrutiny; (2) DOT agencies use this type of contract when they have contract professionals in-house who perform similar work; and (3) this procurement fits the main mission of the Transportation Administrative Services Center.
