EPA spent $52.5 million in taxpayer funds without proper approval, IG report finds
Fox News
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) "improperly" doled out and managed millions of dollars worth of taxpayer dollars in information technology contracts.
The report said the EPA violated "Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements and contract clauses" when they "purchased 23 pieces of hardware and software equipment" through an "expiring" IT contract with Canadian IT company CGI Federal. "This purchase was outside the scope of the contract and was ultimately never used for that contract," wrote the IG’s office. "The EPA then improperly solicited bids for one of two subsequent contracts and transferred the equipment to use on the new contract."More Related News
