“We’re not doing enough to ensure the government isn’t getting cheated.” — Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO)

Sen. McCaskill, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Senate Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight, announced last week that the Subcommittee intends to submit document requests to food service contractors that buy food for the federal government.

The Subcommittee, which is part of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, has oversight jurisdiction encompassing all aspects of federal contracting. Chairman McCaskill, a former prosecutor and state auditor, has been a vocal advocate for aggressive oversight of federal contracting. Under her leadership, the Subcommittee has focused on investigating waste, fraud, and abuse in federal contracting and has now targeted food service contractors for increased scrutiny.
