December 30, 1994

The Honorable George E. Brown, Jr.

Chairman, Committee on Science,

 Space, and Technology

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This report responds to your request that we review all Department of

Defense (DOD) research and development contracts and grants awarded to

colleges, universities, consortia that include colleges or universities,

and/or college or university trusts by DOD to determine compliance with

the restrictions, notice, and reporting requirements in 10 U.S.C. 2361. As

agreed with your staff, this report focuses on fiscal year 1993 awards and

includes data on related organizations, such as university-affiliated

laboratories, that are not subject to section 2361.

Background In 1988 Congress enacted 10 U.S.C. 2361. As amended, this law requires,

among other things, that the Secretary of Defense report to the Senate and

House Committees on Armed Services on the use of competitive

procedures in awarding research and development contracts to colleges

and universities. Generally, the reports are to list the colleges and

universities that received more than $1 million in noncompetitive

contracts and the cumulative amount of such contracts these colleges and

universities received. The law did not require DOD to prepare reports after

December 31, 1993. However, the National Defense Authorization Act for

Fiscal Year 1995 extended the reporting requirement.

The law also requires the Secretary of Defense to notify Congress in

writing of certain proposed noncompetitive contract and grant awards and

to wait 180 days before making these awards. The notification and waiting

period requirements have continued uninterrupted since 1988.

Results in Brief DOD awarded about $2.17 billion—$1.4 billion in contract funding and

$769 million in grants—for research, development, test, and evaluation

(RDT&E) to colleges, universities, and other organizations (including

university-affiliated laboratories) in fiscal year 1993. DOD’s data shows that

about $1 billion of these contract actions and about $75 million in grants

were noncompetitive.

Page 1 GAO/NSIAD-95-72 Defense Research and Development
B-259595 

DOD has not fully complied with 10 U.S.C. 2361 reporting requirements in

that it only submitted the required reports for 1989 to 1991, and not for

1992 or 1993. Section 2361 does not require DOD to disclose all

noncompetitive DOD RDT&E awards to colleges, universities, and related

organizations in the mandated reports because it excludes funding under

$1 million and excludes awards to affiliated organizations such as research

laboratories.

10 U.S.C. 2361 notification and waiting period requirements only apply

under very limited circumstances. As a result, DOD has not had to notify

Congress or wait 180 days before making any of its noncompetitive awards

and, according to DOD officials, has not done so.

DOD Awarded Over

$2 Billion for RDT&E

to Colleges,

Universities, and

Related Organizations

in Fiscal Year 1993

DOD awarded thousands of contracts and grants to U.S. educational and

other related organizations (including university-affiliated laboratories) for

RDT&E in fiscal year 1993. This funding amounted to about $2.17 billion.1

Data we obtained from DOD shows that contract actions accounted for 

$1.4 billion of the awards, while grants accounted for $769 million. Table 1

shows the 10 university-related organizations that received the most

contract and grant funding from DOD for RDT&E in fiscal year 1993. These 

10 recipients account for 54 percent of the value of the awards in this

study, 70 percent of the value of contract funding, and 24 percent of the

value of grants.

Appendix I lists the colleges, universities, and other related organizations

receiving DOD RDT&E funding in fiscal year 1993 and specifies the unit or

location of recipients. Appendix II provides summary data on which

services and DOD agencies provided RDT&E funding to these recipients.

DOD also awarded over $3 million in contract funding (over $500,000 noncompeted) to foreign

educational organizations for RDT&E in fiscal year 1993.

Most Contract Actions

Were Not Competed,

but Most Grants Were

The majority of the $1.4 billion fiscal year 1993 RDT&E contract actions to

colleges, universities, and other related organizations (including foreign)

were not competed: about $791 million (56 percent) in contract actions

were not available for competition or were follow-ons to previously

competed actions, and about $238 million (17 percent) in contract actions

were not competed. DOD awarded about $206 million (15 percent) using

competitive procedures other than full and open competition. DOD made

only about $168 million (12 percent) in contract actions through full and

open competition.

With regard to grants, according to information provided by contracting

personnel on DOD’s grant action report, only eight of its fiscal year 1993

grants to educational organizations did not meet DOD criteria as competed

grants. DOD officials also told us that all of its RDT&E grants are competed

unless they are made under statutory earmarks that specifically supersede

section 2361. These grants accounted for about $75 million, or

9.75 percent, of the value of fiscal year 1993 grants. In February 1994, DOD

instructed grants officers to use broad competition to the maximum extent

feasible and practicable by requiring, at a minimum, at least two eligible

prospective proposers.

DOD Did Not Submit

All of the Reports

Required by 10 U.S.C.

2361

Congress enacted 10 U.S.C. 2361 in 1988 and amended the statute in 1989,

adding a requirement that DOD submit reports to the Senate and House

Committees on Armed Services for the award of research and

development contracts, and the award of construction contracts, to

colleges and universities. Initially, the law did not require DOD to prepare

reports after December 31, 1993. DOD submitted five semiannual reports

covering the period July 1989 to December 1991 but did not submit reports

for 1992 or 1993.2

 A DOD official told us he failed to prepare these reports

2

The 1989 amendment (P.L. 101-189, 252(a)) called for semiannual reports. A 1990 amendment 

(P.L. 101-510, 1311(4)(A)) required annual reports, and the most recent amendment 

(P.L. 103-337, 813) continues the annual reporting requirement.

Page 4 GAO/NSIAD-95-72 Defense Research and Development
B-259595 

because of staff changes and because other projects took priority over

preparing the reports.

The five reports DOD did submit included statistics on the level of

competition in some DOD contracts. For selected colleges and universities

receiving over $1 million in noncompetitive RDT&E contracts, the reports

show the number and dollar amount of contracts competed, contracts not

competed, contracts not available for competition, and follow-ons to

previously competed actions.

The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 extends this

reporting requirement indefinitely, and the accompanying Senate report

calls for DOD to submit the 1992 and 1993 reports. In November 1994, a DOD

official told us that he had begun preparing these reports. A

November 1994 memorandum from the Secretary of Defense assigned

responsibility for producing subsequent reports to the Under Secretary of

Defense for Acquisition and Technology.

Law Does Not Require

Reports to Include

Complete Information

In the reports prepared pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2361(c)(1), DOD was not

required to include information on university-affiliated entities, such as

certain research laboratories and other related organizations. For

example, the five reports do not show the funding Johns Hopkins’ Applied

Physics Lab received; in fiscal year 1993, the Applied Physics Lab received

about $235 million in noncompetitive contracts actions.

Furthermore, 10 U.S.C. 2361(c)(1) does not require DOD to include grants

in the mandated reports—even though grants are a major focus of the law.

DOD awards some grants on a noncompetitive basis, in accordance with

statutory earmarks that explicitly supersede section 2361. For example, in

fiscal year 1993 DOD awarded eight noncompeted research and

development grants to colleges and universities, totaling about $75 million.

A Senate Report accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for

Fiscal Year 1995 calls for DOD to continue including information on grants,

as well as contracts, in the required reports, although DOD has not included

grants in its previous reports.3

1995.

Page 5 GAO/NSIAD-95-72 Defense Research and Development
B-259595 

Reports compiled by DOD’s Washington Headquarters Services (WHS)

include information on contracts and grants.4

 However, these reports do

not address the level of competition in awarding the contracts and grants,

although such information is readily available in DOD’s databases.

Appendix I shows a sample report we developed using fiscal year 1993

data available from WHS.

Notification and

Waiting Period

Requirements Are

Generally Inapplicable

10 U.S.C. 2361(b)(2) establishes congressional notification and waiting

period requirements for certain noncompetitive DOD awards to colleges

and universities. The subsection provides that a grant may not be made, or

a contract awarded, pursuant to a provision of law that authorizes or

requires the making of the grant, or the awarding of the contract, in a

manner inconsistent with the competition requirements of 

10 U.S.C. 2361(a) until the Secretary of Defense notifies Congress and

waits 180 days.5

DOD officials told us that most, if not all, DOD RDT&E contract and grant

actions to colleges and universities are not subject to these

notice-and-wait requirements. Basically, this is because most RDT&E

contracts and grants to colleges and universities are either competed or

awarded noncompetitively under an exemption to competition recognized

by section 2361(a) (e.g., certain sections of the Competition in Contracting

Act). DOD officials believe that there have been no instances where

notification and a waiting period were required, and DOD has not notified

Congress or waited 180 days prior to making any awards in fiscal year

1993.

Conclusions and

Observations

Although DOD complied with 10 U.S.C. 2361 when it provided reports for

1989 through 1991, these mandated reports did not disclose all

noncompetitive RDT&E awards to educational and other related

organizations. The reports only provide information on contracts and

exclude millions of dollars in grants. The reports do not include certain

related organizations, nor do they include complete information on

contract awards because the law requires reporting only on colleges and

universities receiving over $1 million in noncompetitive contracts. Our

Agreements for RDT&E.

A congressional earmark in a committee report is not a “provision of law.” We found earmarks in

House Report 102-1015 (the Conference Report to accompany H.R. 5504, Making Appropriations for

the Department of Defense for the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 1993, and for Other Purposes).

Page 6 GAO/NSIAD-95-72 Defense Research and Development
B-259595 

analysis shows that the mandated report for 1993 would exclude about

$11 million in contracts under $1 million to colleges and universities.

Furthermore, the section requires DOD to report contract activity on a

calendar year basis. This is inconsistent with other government reports on

educational awards and is inconsistent with the reports WHS compiles on a

fiscal year basis.

If desired, Congress could obtain more complete information about

noncompetitive awards from WHS. For example, current WHS reports

contain information on DOD RDT&E awards (contracts over $25,000, as well

as grants regardless of dollar value). The reports also include, among other

things, information on organizations related to colleges and universities,

including university-affiliated laboratories. These reports cover fiscal years

rather than the calendar years section 2361 reports must cover.

DOD officials said that although these WHS reports do not provide

information on the competitive procedures DOD uses in making awards,

such information is available in their databases. WHS could enhance its

existing reporting format by adding information on competition. With

minimal burden, such revised reports could further disclose DOD’s RDT&E

funding activity. We have provided an example of such a reporting format

in appendix I.

Scope and

Methodology

To determine DOD compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2361, we obtained

information on its reports from the Office of the Secretary of Defense and

cognizant DOD officials. We also reviewed the law’s requirements and

obtained an interpretation of the law from DOD’s Office of the General

Counsel. To assess the types and amounts of DOD awards for RDT&E, we

analyzed data from DOD’s contracts (DD350) database and from the WHS

grants database. Using this information, we developed the awards report

shown in appendix I. We were unable to analyze separately all funding to

related organizations because of the way DOD data was aggregated.

As agreed with your staff, we did not obtain written comments from DOD

on a draft of this report. However, we discussed our findings and

conclusions with DOD officials. DOD explained that many of the “related

organizations” listed in the report (such as university-affiliated research

laboratories) routinely receive noncompetitive contracts in full

compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, DOD officials

stated that all DOD RDT&E grants to the types of organizations discussed in

the report are competed unless they are statutory earmarks. We revised

Page 7 GAO/NSIAD-95-72 Defense Research and Development
B-259595 

the report where appropriate in response to this and other information

provided by DOD officials.

We conducted our review between July and December 1994 in accordance

with generally accepted government auditing standards.

We are sending copies of this report to other appropriate congressional

committees and the Secretary of Defense. We will also make copies

available to others on request.

Please contact me at (202) 512-4587 if you or your staff have any questions

concerning this report. Appendix III lists the major contributors to this

report.
