A reviev of the Bureau of the Census' anageent and
use of automatic data processing (ADP) resources concentrated on
the Bureau's justification for a noncompetitive acquisition of
an additional large-scale computer systesat an estimated cost
of over $13 million. The Bureau's study of its needs was
inadequate and resulted in overstating certain workload
requirements. Its projection of its capacity excluded weekend
capacity and productivity increases and underestimated the
improvement of current capacity through augmentation of the
existing systems. GAO's analysis of revised requirements versus
existing capacity indicated that a noncompetitive acquisition .of
another large-scale computer system is unnecessary at this:time.,
The Department of Ccmnezce and the Bureau should study the
Bureau's requirements, objectives, and management policies and
actions needed to meet their needs through 1982 and propvrly
plan and acquire the capabilities needed for the 1980so
