Abstract:

This letter is to bring to your attention the concerns of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction SIGIR about a Department of State DoS Office of Acquisition Management contract that would develop a follow-on system for the Iraq Reconstruction Management System IRMS. DoS awarded a 5 million contract to Enterprise Information Systems for a new system to be delivered in October 2010. SIGIR is concerned that the follow-on system will not be developed in time to achieve meaningful results and that replacing IRMS a year from now would not be a cost-beneficial way to track the small amount of U.S.-funded reconstruction projects that would remain after October 2010.
