This data exchanged between the two groups is not a positive representation of an existing contract in place and is therefore should not allowed. Without proper approval by the agency officials to ensure compliance and have access to all the documentation required to review, it would not have happened in the first place. The tax burden for this one contract is approximately $96k per year and the timeline of the exchange is excessive because of the fact that the contract is not in compliance with the law. With the paper reduction act, when the obvious answer is not to renew, the government should not have to require additional actions to correct a situation like this. It should be handled internally and then posted in the form of a report that will be available to the public.
