The contracting officer at Ft. Bragg, NC, awarded a contract for $10 million on September 20, 2010, which inadvertently led to an Antideficiency Act (ADA) violation by exceeding the appropriated funds available. This violation occurs when government officials authorize expenditures that exceed the budgetary limits set by Congress. As a result, the contracting officer may face disciplinary actions, and the Army could be required to take corrective measures to ensure compliance with federal budget laws. It is essential for contracting officers to monitor funding availability closely to prevent such violations.
