Federal agencies have become locked into suppliers of computers and services because essential automatic data processing standards have not been developed or agencies are not complying with present standards. As a result potential savings available through competitive procurement are not being fully attained. The Government has depended too heavily upon the commercial sector to develop the standards it needs; thus, little progress has been made. It has also failed to manage adequately Federal funds devoted to standards development and to establish clearly defined policies for enforcing compliance with such standards. This report provides information on the types of standards most needed to achieve Government-wide economies and suggests remedies to improve the Federal automatic data processing standards program.
