The Government Accountability Office (GAO) developed a three-part test known as the "Reasonable Discretion and Flexibility" test to evaluate the appropriateness of certain government actions. This test assesses whether the action is within the scope of the law, whether it serves a public purpose, and whether it is consistent with the principles of sound fiscal management. By applying this test, the GAO aims to ensure that government decisions are both lawful and beneficial to the public interest.
The GAO three-part test is a framework used to determine whether an entity qualifies as a "government contractor" under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The test assesses whether the entity provides goods or services to the government, the nature of the relationship with the government, and whether the entity's performance meets specific standards. By evaluating these criteria, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ensures compliance with federal procurement laws and regulations. This test helps in maintaining accountability and transparency in government contracting practices.

The Executive Branch includes the Office of the President and an enormous array of federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and many, many more. These federal agencies all answer (at least theoretically) to the Office of President, and collectively they are considered all part of the Executive Branch. The Legislative Branch includes the the Senate and the House of Representatives. There are a small number of agencies that are also part of the Legislative Branch, such as the Government Accountability Office, which, though it is a government agency, answers to the House of Representatives rather than the Office of the President. The Judicial Branch includes the Supreme Court and the Federal Court System, which includes federal judges and their support staff.
