The competition was filled with allegations of conflict of interest. The Inspector General for the General Services Administration (GSA) is specifically examining the choice of Greenbelt, Maryland, over a site in Virginia.

The GSA welcomes the review and maintains that they followed the necessary requirements and procedures. FBI Director Christopher Wray had expressed concerns about a potential conflict of interest in the selection process. Maryland and Virginia have been competing to host the new FBI headquarters.
