Highlights
GAO reviewed the legality of an agreement negotiated for the leasing of vehicles without competitive bidding on the basis that the lessor was the only source of supply, when there are at least 3 other concerns which lease vehicles on a nationwide scale.
GAO found that since the lease was negotiated without competitive bidding, it has no alternative but to consider it void. Accordingly, all services or transactions under the lease should be terminated immediately.
