Grassley asks GSA to cancel Sun contract

Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has asked the General Services Administration Administrator Lurita Doan to cancel its controversial Multiple Award Contract with Sun Microsystems.

During the last several months, Grassley has been pushing GSA and Sun to address his concerns over the vendor's pricing strategy. The senator believes the vendor is not giving government customers its lowest pricing as required by its GSA Schedule contract. According to GSA's inspector general, Sun has overcharged the government by more than $25 million.

But despite the pressure, the company has not provided information for an audit the senator requested, even after requests by a GSA contract officer and Inspector General Brian Miller, according to the senator.
