ATF Rushed Sole-Source Contracts Without Market Research, Watchdog Finds

“Proper documentation is necessary to show that ATF safeguarded federal funds, furthered the purpose of small business programs, and complied with sole-source contracting authorities,” wrote the Justice Department inspector general in a report released on Thursday.
