Highlights
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Department of Energy (DOE) contracts with Decision Planning Corporation (DPC) to determine whether the method used by DPC to compute overhead costs resulted in the Government's bearing a disproportionate share of indirect costs. In addition, GAO reviewed the history of the contracts, the effectiveness of DOE monitoring, and the propriety of contracting for the work rather than having it done by full-time DOE personnel.
