The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has announced that it will hold a hearing to examine the suspension and debarment process at the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The hearing will focus on reports issued recently by the Inspectors General at DOT and DHS that raise serious concerns about flaws in efforts to prevent persons and businesses ineligible to receive federal contracts, due to past misconduct, from receiving new awards.
The hearing will take place on Thursday, March 18, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 2154 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
The hearing will focus on reports issued recently by the IGs, including the DOT Inspector General report released on January 7, 2010, entitled, "DOT's Suspension and Debarment Program Does Not Safeguard Against Awards to Improper Parties," and a report issued by the DHS Inspector General on February 2, 2010 entitled, "DHS' Use of Suspension and Debarment Actions for Poorly Performing Contractors."
Witnesses invited to testify include Calvin L. Scovel, III, Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and Richard L. Skinner, Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
