GSA’s Roth questioned over IT project

At a Senate panel hearing for Denise Turner Roth’s confirmation as administrator of the General Services Administration, concerns were raised about delays in the agency’s Integrated Award Environment database consolidation project.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, said in a July 23 statement that she would withhold support for Roth until she gets clear deadlines for the project.

"We've been at this for six years. You're telling me it's going to be another two years – eight and a half years to integrate databases?" McCaskill wrote in the statement.

Costs for the Integrated Award Environment program doubled to $181 million by 2012, according to a Government Accountability Office report. In 2014, GSA pushed the completion date to 2018.

Despite McCaskill’s concerns, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Reform panel approved Roth’s confirmation on July 29.
