We audited three National Park Service (NPS) contracts (Nos. P17PC00513, P17PC00515, and P17PC00516) issued in support of the Grand Canyon River Logistics Program, which funds logistical services for NPS river missions along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon National Park. Our objectives were to determine whether the NPS complied with the Federal Acquisition Regulation’s (FAR’s) preaward requirements, properly awarded the contracts’ task orders, and oversaw the contracts during their period of performance, including the contractors’ compliance with requirements for drug screening and criminal background checks.
We determined that the NPS complied with the FAR’s preaward requirements, awarded task orders in accordance with FAR subpart 16.5, monitored and oversaw the contracts during their period of performance, and implemented an administrative measure to comply with the drug screening and background check requirements.
