OPM’s credit-monitoring contract violated the FAR

A contract to provide credit and identity monitoring services to millions affected by this summer’s hack of the Office of Personnel and Management (OPM) was made in violation of federal acquisition rules, according to a ruling from OPM’s inspector general, found in an Oct. 30 memo to acting OPM director Beth Cobert.

OPM“We determined that the [Office of Procurement Operations] did not award the Winvale contract in compliance with the FAR and OPM’s policies and procedures, which led to the OPO selecting the wrong contracting vehicle,” the memo, from OPM IG Patrick McFarland’s office, said.

“While we are unable to determine whether the issues we uncovered are significant enough to have impacted the award of the contract to Winvale Group LLC, and its subcontractor, CSIdentity, it is evident that significant deficiencies existed in the OPO over the contract award process.”
