Government contracting is plagued by nefarious, amateurish, and
criminal behavior. By awarding government contracts to corporations
as compensation for lavish gifts and personal favors, the United
States government fails to serve the public interest effectively
and honestly. William Sims Curry identifies and categorizes
multiple deficiencies in how government contractors are selected,
and proposes how reforms can be instituted. This book is based on
extensive research. Curry sifted through two years worth of
contractor claims maintained by the Government Accountability
Office (GAO) regarding improper behavior of federal government
agencies during the contract award process. He identified
additional government contracting failures through review of media
stories, inspector general reports, court cases, and press releases
by government investigatory agencies. Much of this abuse originates
from the mandated but ineffective practice of color coding rating
proposals and a subjective ratings system. Curry proposes replacing
the current practice with a scoring system that weighs contractor
selection criteria according to the government's needs. This, along
with the other procurement reforms Curry recommends, offers promise
for an alternative to the fraud, waste, and incompetence currently
rampant in government contracting.
