Enclosed is a copy of the results of our annual audit of the automatic
data processing (ADP) procurements conducted by your agency pursuant
to our delegation of procurement authority (DPA). GSA Case Number
CDS-4-117(A) applies.
Our audit resulted in a recommendation that the DPA be amended to
include ADP services. Apparently by oversight, this area was not
in our original DPA.
Accordingly, the DPA is hereby amended to include ADP Services'.
Further, since the issuance of the December 7, 1973, DPA, certain
areas of the Federal Property Management Regulations (FPMR) have
been incorporated into the Federal Procurement Regulations (FPR).
Therefore, we are further amending the DPA to incorporate these
new references. The following shall replace the "limitations" contained
in our August 7, 1973, letter:
(1)
You shall follow the provisions of FPR 1-4. 11. This
FPR pertains to procurement and contracting for
Government-wide automated data processing equipment,
software, maintenance services, and supplies.
(2) You shall follow the provisions of such other procure-
ment regulations as may apply.
(3) You shall follow the provisions of FPMR as may apply.
In particular:
(a) The specific requirements of 101-36.2 pertaining
to the Automatic Data Processing Resources
Utilization Program;
