Recommendations

Update the FTC Administrative Manual, Chapter 2: Section 300—Acquisition, to reflect the current process of acquiring and managing FTC contracts.

We recommend that the FTC Executive Director, in coordination with each FTC operating unit director, develop guidance on the oversight of COR activities and maintenance of COR files.
