Which agency is causing an uproar? The federal Office of Personnel Management. AKA “The OPM Breach of 2015”
How did the agency mishandle the data breach? A report this week from OPM’s Inspector General found 5 contracting irregularities when OPM awarded a $21M clean up the data breach contract.
The 5 Government Contracting Problems:
- OPM did not offer a complete scope of the work
- Conduced inadequate market research
- had an incomplete acquisition plan
- exceeded dollar limits on blanket agreements
- Unreliable contract file
