This report reviews the recommendations of the Services Acquisition Advisory Panel and how those recommendations compare to GAO’s past work. To do this, GAO analyzed the panel report and compared its findings and recommendations to GAO’s past work and recommendations, obtained Office of Federal Procurement Policy’s views on how it expected the recommendations to be implemented, and reviewed proposed legislation in Congress to determine if legislative provisions had the potential to address some recommendations.
