Review of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Sole-Source Contract Awarded to Industrial Economics, Inc. Regarding Gulf Oil Spill Expert Services
This report details the results of our review of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) sole-source contract award to Industrial Economics, Incorporated. On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the British Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil well drilling platform released approximately 4.9 million barrels (210 million gallons) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Our objective was to determine whether NOAA properly documented the justification of awarding a September 2011 sole-source contract with Industrial Economics, Incorporated.
We conducted this audit to examine BIS’ progress in transitioning to USXPORTS. We began this audit with two objectives: to determine whether BIS was (1) effectively and efficiently managing its transition toward using USXPORTS to perform export licensing processing and (2) using effective and efficient software development practices for CUESS. However, during our fieldwork, we decided to forgo analysis on the second objective, as CUESS is currently in production with no plan for major development work on the system.
