The list of business grievances against the contracting company USIS is growing. The Government Accountability Offices says a five-year, nearly $200 million contract it has with the Homeland Security Department wasn't properly awarded.

Rob Burton is a partner at Venable law firm. He's also former administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy.
