GSA Administrator Lurita Doan may have violated federal ethics and procurement regulations by trying to give a friend a $20,000 no-bid contract , according to a March 19 report from General Services Administration's inspector general. “Doan’s conduct in this matter may indicate possible violations of federal ethics regulations for failing to act impartially and creating the appearance of providing preferential treatment,” the report states. “Her conduct also may indicate possible violations of federal procurement regulations requiring competition in the award of contracts.”
In the end, the $20,000 contract was not awarded and Doan has said that she made a mistake.
