MBIORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Deputy Director for Intelligence
Deputy Director for Operations
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
Administrative Officer, DCI Area
FROM: Daniel A. Childs, Jr.
Comptroller
SUBJECT: ADP Acquisition Policies (A/IUO)
1. During their review of the fiscal year 1984 budget, the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees became concerned about the effectiveness of
certain practices used in the acquisition of automatic data processing (ADP)
equipment in the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. As a
result of their concern, they included the following recommendations in
their 1984 budget appropriation report (see attachment A):
a. All ADP equipment is to be purchased outright, unless a lower cost
method of acquisition is available.
b. Acquisition of ADP equipment is to be accomplished through direct
competition of interested vendors, unless alternative procedures are
warranted by a "national exigency to support a time-sensitive
program of the highest national priority."
c. A comprehensive audit of all ADP equipment is to be performed to
develop an equipment inventory, and to determine equipment for which
continued lease or installment purchase is no longer economical.
d. A comprehensive training and advisory program is to be implemented
to ensure that ADP contracting officers have sufficient expertise to
protect the Government's interests.
e. A program is to be initiated to buy out all ADP equipment not
owned.
f. No exceptions are to be made from competitive acquisition or
outright purchase without the express approval of senior Agency ADP
management. "Exceptions are not to be justified lack of
necessary procurement funds or time-sensitivity."

2. With respect to the Intelligence Community, the committees requested.
a report be prepared by each Community member on the impact of the
recommendations. We participated in an Intelligence Community appeal for an
exemption from a preliminary version of the recommendations (see attachment
B), and made a direct appeal of our own, but the appeals were rejected.
Congress then directed the Agency (see attachment C) to submit a report by
1 July 1984 reviewing existing and proposed ADP systems in light of the
recommendations. We will submit, if necessary, a report on 1 July, but we
also plan to (1) submit another Agency appeal directly to the Appropriations
Committees seeking a general exemption from the recommendations, and (2)
participate in a second Community appeal. To prepare these appeals s and the
report, if required, we will need support from your components.
3. First, we need information from components on the costs of buying
out ADP equipment now rented, leased, or under any kind of installment
purchase plan. Please submit this information on the forms provided
(attachment D). We will use your information to perform a comparative
economic analysis and identify any equipment for which a buy-out would be
cost-effective. Because we will not include word processing equipment (for
example, the Wang Alliance system) and we are setting a $50,000 purchase
price cut-off for equipment to be reported, only a small number of
components should be involved (see attachment D for more information).
4. Second, we need your assessment of what harm these recommendations
will do to your program. We especially want to hear from NPIC and ODP on
the impact of a policy precluding leases and installment purchases, and from
OL on the implications of drastically limiting sole source procurements.
All components are encouraged to comment on any aspect of the
recommendations, however.
5. Third, we will need a response from OL on the requirements for and
feasibility of an enh ced training program in ADP procurement for
contracting officers.
6. Finally, the Agency must ensure that an inventory of its ADP
equipment is available. The maintenance of such an inventory is an ODP
responsibility (see HR, but each office must review its own inventory 25X1
of ADP equipment and be sure that ODP has up-to-date information. 25X1
7. We would like your responses by 1Iay 1984. At that time, we will
prepare our Agency appeal with the goal of obtaining a general exemption
from the Congressional guidelines. We subsequently will prepare the
detailed impact report that Congress requested only if our appeal fails.

TITLE III-OPE71--:.TION AND MAINTENANCE
The following items addressed by the conferees apply to more
than one operation and maintenance appropriation of the Depart-
rnent of Defense:
The authorization conference recommended Ow'%l authorization
levels at the budget activity within each appropriation but speci-
fied that the Department of Defense should retain certain f;exibili-
ties for transfers. The Appropriations Bill as passed the House rec-
ornrne:,ded specific budget activity amounts within each appropri-
ation while the Senate version recommended appropriation at the
O&.M account level as historically has been the case.
The conferees agree that appropriation at the budget activity
level would unnecessarily inhibit the required flexibility in the De-
partment of Defense for executing a complex operating budget
during the course of the fiscal year. As a result, the conferees agree
to appropriate at the account level rather than by sp e:ific budget
activity. The conferees have worked diligently to ensure that each
of the individual items being addressed in the conference are
within the authorized limits.
;ADP equipment acquisition
Both the House and the Ser:ate criticized the management of
ADP equipment acquisition in DOD. The House recommended a re-

vided that doing so does not perpetuate obsolescence. Leased ADP
equipment that is ob-o:t_e will not be purchased if replacement is

as directed by fhe Senate.

The conferees agree to permit the Department of Defense to
budget for industrial plant equipment in the customer operation

The conferees fully support\he modernization of the industrial
plants of the Department of Defense. However, the many layers of
bureaucracy between these industrial activities and the Congress
have provided poor justification for'such an important and expen-
sive program. A significantly better job must he done by the De-
partment of Defense in fiscal year 1955 of supporting the request
for these funds. Since DOD has testified that the individual indus-
trial activities era _n have a plan and are free to allocate these re-

MEMORANDUi'1 FOR: Chairman, Information Handling Committee
FROM: Daniel A. Childs, Jr.
Comptroller
SUBJECT: House Appropriations Committee (MAC) Recommendations on
ADP Acquisition (U)
Six recommendations on ADP acquisition were enunciated by the HAC in the
unclassified report accompanying the fiscal year 1984 Defense Appropriation
Bill. Though their applicability to CIA is still somewhat unclear, and we
feel strongly that the Agency should and will be excluded from some of the
provisions of the report, we have made a preliminary assessment of their
impact. (U)
1. Beginning in fiscal year 1984, all ADP components are to be
purchased outright rather than leased. (U)
Agency mainframe computer systems are generally procured under
installment purchase plans or lease arrangements.' Use of installment
purchase plans (specifically annual payment plans) is typically required
because funding limitations generally preclude outright purchase. The
Office of Data Processing (ODP) uses this method. Alternatively, lease is
preferred when the ADP equipment is estimated to have a limited systems life
due, for example, to changing technology. The National Photographic
Interpretation Center (NPIC) leases many of its Univac mainframes. FY 1984
and FY 1985 budgets were based on the continuation of installment purchase
plans and lease agreements and the use of these approaches for planned new
acquisitions. HAC strictures precluding plans other than purchase would
severely disrupt'these FY 1984 and FY 1985 funding profiles. A detailed
study would be required to estimate additional funding requirements so that
installed and new equipment could be procured through outright purchase
only, but it appears that at least an additional $40 million would be needed
in 1984. Without these additional funds, critical planned acquisitions 25X1

would have to be postponed. Funding over the next several years would also
have to be increased to meet purchase requirements for new capacity 25X1
ld be ealized onl radially).
(Savings--basically interest--wou y
In our experience, lease arrangements are, in certain circumstances, in
the best interest of the government. When judiciously used, leasing can
provide important flexibility to program managers. It can reduce the risk
of technical obsolescence and provide a mechanism for meeting short-term
requirements. Moreover, leasing can reduce the risk of absorbing new
technology. It. can provide the mechanism whereby new technology can be
fully evaluated in an operational environment before significant financial
commitments are made. In short, leasing is preferred when ADP equipment is
expected to have a limited systems life. Existing regulations require that
procurement options be evaluated with respect to achieving the lowest
overall evaluated cost over the systems life. This approach is conceptually
sound. Outright purchase cannot, a priori, be assumed the most advantageous

2. Acquisition of ADP equipment a accomplished through direct
competition of interested vendors. 25X1
ADP acquisition is accomplished according to existing procurement
regulations. Competition is clearly the preferred approach. Sole source
procurements, however, are permitted under special circumstances outlined in
the regulations. In the Agency arena, security and operational concerns
also may require that competition be limited in certain situations. The
Agency should not be forced to undertake competition for competition's sake
when it is clear that only one vendor can satisfy an Agency requirement.
Currently, a board of senior Agency officers, the Agency Contract Review
Board (ACRB), approves all procurements over $500,000. The ACKB is advisory
to the Director of Logistics, who is ultimately responsible for. the
integrity and effectiveness of the Agency procurement system. -We believe
these procedures provide the appropriate checks and balances on the
procurement process. The $500,000 threshold is a reasonable one for
review. Existing procurement regulations provide an appropriate balance
between the government's desire to encourage competition and the requirement
to acquire ADP equipment and services that meet both substantive needs and
appropriate resource management criteria. 25X1
3. A comprehensive audit of all ADP equipment is to be performed. 25X1

ODP also manages the Agency excess ADP equipment reutilization program.
All excess ADP equipment is identified to ODP, and ODP attempts to arrange
for its reutilization. Equipment that has no alternative Agency use is
turned over to the Office of Logistics for transfer to the General Services
Administration. The Agency excess ADP equipment program has been working
very effectively for many years now. Finally, with the assistance of the

cognizant contracting officer, most components regularly review their
local equipment inventories for cost saving opportunities through
lease-to-purchase conversion.. We would support renewed emphasis on this
responsibility.
4. A comprehensive training and advisory program is to be implemented
to insure that contracting officers have sufficient ADP expertise to protect
the government's interest.
We would support an enhanced level of training for Agency contracting
officers. The current problem with training relates to the pressing
procurement workload. If the workload per person were reduced by obtaining
additional positions. more comprehensive training program could be
implemented.
S. A p to be initiated to buy out all existing ADP equipment
not owned.
As discussed earlier, further study will be required to estimate the
funding implications of a buy-out. We have substantial equipment under
annual payment plans (APP' s--essentially installment payment plans) and
under lease. Our preliminary estimate is that we would require at least $40
million in FY 1984 alone. It should be emphasized, however, that for some
of this equipment a buy-out may not be advantageous, due to the equipment
having a limited systems life.
6. No exceptions are to be made for competitive acquisition or
outright purchased with the specific case-by-case approval of senior
ADP officials.

General Notes on ADP-Equipment Inventory Forms (A, B F C)
1. All general purpose ADP equipment that will be under a CIA lease or
installment purchase plan during at least some part of the last three
quarters of FY 1985 should be reported. This includes equipment under
the following procurement plans: lease, lease to ownership, lease with
option to purchase, annual or alternate payment, or other type of
installment purchase plan.
2. Do not report:
-- Special purpose or embedded systems.
-- Equipment that will be Government-owned prior to 1 January 1985,
even if formerly leased or under an installment purchase plan.
-- Word processing equipment (including Wang Alliance systems).
-- Miscellaneous equipment with a 1 January 1985 purchase price of less
than $50,000. However, if several similar items are procured under
the same terms, report this equipment if the aggregate purchase
price is equal to or exceeds $50,000. (For example, report as one
line item 25 identical terminals that are leased even if they may be
purchased for $2,000 each on 1 January 1985).
3. Equipment may be clustered into systems or groups of items and reported
on one line if 1) the equipment is being procured under the same plan,
and 2) the equipment has the same system life. (For example, a string
of leased disk drives, all of which will be released in 12 months, may
be reported as a single line item).
4. Based on the data from forms A and B, the Comptroller's Office will
perform an economic analysis to determine what equipment it will be
economically advantageous to purchase outright on 1 January 1985 in lieu
of continued lease or installment purchase. If there are reasons other
than lack of funding why this equipment should not be pure ase , even if
economically advantageous, describe these reasons on the forms in the
"Comments" column.
5. On Form C describe the impact of a prohibition on lease and installment
purchase for major systems entering the inventory after FY85 (that is,
equipment not reported on forms A and B).
6. Duplicate forms as necessary. Forms should be classified, as
appropriate.

Notes on Form A, "Leased ADP Equipment Inventory*"
1. Equipment may be clustered in a logical grouping if lease arrangements
and system life are identical. Provide serial numbers of equipment in
clusters if practical (see "General Notes" for type of equipment to be
included).
2. Include monthly maintenance cost in the lease cost, if maintenance is
priced separately from the lease. Indicate equipment being procured
under a lease-to-ownership plan (LTOP) in the "Comments" column. For
LTOP equipment, indicate in the "Comments" column the number and amount
of monthly payments due past 1 January 1985 until the equipment reverts
to Government-ownership.
3. Monthly maintenance cost data are required for lease versus purchase
analysis to be performed by 0/Compt.
4. Provide the estimated purchase price as of 1 January 1985. Be sure to
subtract any accumulated purchase option credits.
S. System life is the estimated number of months beyond 1 January 1985
equipment will be in productive use (used in lease versus purchase
analysis performed by O/Compt).
6. Provide any comments on data as appropriate. Also comment if you
believe there is a rationale for not purchasing equipment, assuming
purchase is more cost-effective and funds are available. Also indicate
if equipment is being procured under a lease-to-ownership (LTOP) plan.
Note the number and amount of monthly payments beyond 1 January 1985
until equipment reverts to Government-ownership.

Notes on Form B, (Inventory of ADP Equipment Under
an Installment Purchase Plan)*
1. Equipment may be clustered in logical groupings if plan and system life
are identical. Provide serial numbers of equipment in the cluster if
practicable. See "General Notes" for types of equipment to be included.
2. Estimated purchase price as of 1 January 1985--generally interest since
last payment plus outstanding principal.
3. Payment, if any, owed between 1 October 1984 and 31 December 1984.
4. Payments on installment purchase plan owed in indicated fiscal year.
For FY 1985, see note 5 below.
5. FY 1985 payment, if any, owed between 1 January 1985 and 30 September
