SUBJECT: General Services Administration Meeting - 17 September 1984
1. A meeting was held at the General Services Administration
(GSA) Central Office on this date to discuss congressional interest
in the final bid package for Headquarters~Expansion. A list of attendees
is attached.
2. Dlessrs. Dave Wynn and Walt Huber, GSA, related the conversations
that had occurred at a meeting during the preceding week with staff
members of the House Select Committee on Small Business. Attending
that meeting were representatives of GSA, the Small Business Administration
(SBA), and Committee staffers. The mood was described as belligerent,
with GSA being accused of not doing enough to involve small and disadvantaged
business participation in the first two major contracts. The belligerence
was from the staffers. Mr. Huber stated that SBA representatives sat
quietly through the meeting.
3. GSA representatives stated that the end result was to pressure
GSA to treat the entire final construction contract as a small business
set aside. GSA agreed to provide a technical reglai.rements document to
the SBA and allow them several weeks to present GSA with a qualified
bidder. If such a bidder is provided and GSA finds no problem with
the suggested firm(s), then the contract would become a negotiated
procurement rather than a competitively bid procurement.
4. GSA representatives stated that the purpose of this meeting
was to advise the Agency of these developments and to request assistance
in preparing the technical requirements document for SBA. In the general
discussion of this development, it was agreed that the Agency had
only two options at this time, i.e., cooperate with GSA or withhold
final funding and explore alternative contracting mechanisms. Detailed
discussions covered the potential problems associated with writing
a requirements document that does not jeopardize the competitive bidding
that may be required and incorporating provisions in the requirements
document that guarantee that any recommended SBA candidate has the
resources and experience felt necessary to-meet the Agency's operational
reaui rements .

D4r. Huber stated that the Commerce Business Daily advertisement that
had been submitted to GSA for publication was being held pending
resolution of this issue.
