In June 1993, the then Secretary of Energy established a Contract Reform Team to review the Department of Energy’s (DOE) contracting practices and to make recommendations to improve them. The need for contract reform was driven by a recognition that DOE did not have adequate control of its contractors, that contractors were not sufficiently accountable to DOE, and that there was an absence of well-defined performance measures and criteria for DOE contractors.

During this reporting period, the Office of Inspector General continued to advise Headquarters and field managers of opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Department's management controls, with particular emphasis on coverage of issues addressed in the Department's Strategic Plan. We also have supported the Department's streamlining initiatives by evaluating the cost effectiveness and overall efficiency of Department programs and operations, placing special emphasis on key issue areas which have historically benefited from Office of Inspector General attention. For example, in this and prior periods, we have concentrated on reviewing performance-based contracts, performance outcomes, cost reduction incentive programs, and performance information systems. We view these efforts as assisting the Department in implementing the Government Performance and Results Act (the Results Act), which requires the Department to establish strategic planning and performance measurement.efor
