Office of Investigations Team

The Government Accountability Office Office of Investigations is a civilian sub-agency that performs internal investigations and compliance work within the GAO and awards contracts to support those functions. The Office has issued 91 federal contracts since 2016, totaling $11.2 million in combined potential value, with $11.2 million obligated across those awards. Recent activity has slowed significantly: the Office awarded 25 contracts in 2021, 16 in 2022, 7 in 2023, 2 in 2024, and 1 so far in 2025. The most recent award date on record is March 2025.

Emcor Government Services, Inc. dominates the recent competitive landscape by award count, holding 18 of 27 awards issued over the last five years and $941 thousand in combined potential value. The remaining four active prime contractors—PCS Enterprises, Inc., Four Corner Solutions, Inc., Govsolutions, Inc., and Mind Your Business Inc.—hold one to six awards each and are highly fragmented by reported potential value, collectively representing less than $80 thousand. Seven of the top five primes transact through mechanisms that carry either unreported or minimal reported dollar values, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications. Two of the 27 recent awards (7 percent) have no reported potential value in the source data.

The contract set-aside mix skews toward open competition. Fifty-six percent of all awards (51 contracts) carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 3 percent of awards (3 contracts), and 8(a) sole-source awards make up 2 percent (2 contracts). Nineteen distinct prime contractors have been awarded across the portfolio history, concentrated among a very small active vendor base.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the Office of Investigations or its offices in the source data.
