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.
