Waxman asks GSA’s Doan to resign

After handing down a no-confidence verdict last week against General Services Administration Administrator Lurita Doan, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) does not appear ready to ease the pressure on Doan or GSA.

Waxman, Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman, said he has concerns about a new GSA proposal to add oversight responsibilities, such as writing statements of work and evaluating bid proposals, to the Federal Supply Schedule. The proposal would let companies do the type of work that federal employees do now, according to Waxman’s June 14 letter to Doan.

“Outsourcing additional procurement responsibilities could contribute to the erosion of procurement oversight by federal officials, leading to more wasteful spending,” Waxman states in the letter.
