Highlights
The Department of Agriculture was remiss in not following prescribed procedures for acquiring a computer system which was needed at its New Orleans Computer Center. However, the agency's cooperation with GAO has enabled the acquisition to proceed with resultant savings to the government of about $7.5 million. The cooperation also helped to establish a new software conversion method which may achieve additional savings.
