Contracting is a key issue for all federal workers.

This week the Government Accountabilty Office released two reports about contracting practices.

Both found there seems to be some resistance to comply with new guidance and safeguards.

John Hutton is the GAO’s Director for Acquisition and Sourcing Management.
