Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services

GAO responded to a request concerning Federal procurement and the profession of surveying, particularly in light of two GAO decisions that appeared to reflect a usurpation of the states¿ surveyor licensure requirements by Federal procurement regulation.  GAO concluded that where such services are to be performed in conjunction with professional services of an architectural or engineering nature, they should be contracted for in the course of the procurement of the professional A-E services under the Brooks Bill method.
