Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has relied on service acquisitions to meet its expansive mission.

This report: (1) evaluates the implementation of a performance-based approach in the context of service acquisitions for major, complex investments; and (2) identifies mgmt. challenges that may affect DHS¿s successful acquisitions for major investments, including those using a performance-based approach. Includes recommend. Illus.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has some of the most extensive acquisition needs within the federal government. In fiscal year 2005, DHS spent $17.5 billion on contracted purchases, $6.5 billion, or 37 percent, of which was through the use of other agencies' contracts and contracting services, a process known as interagency contracting. While these types of contracts offer the benefits of efficiency and convenience, in January 2005, GAO noted shortcomings and designated the management of interagency contracting as a governmentwide high-risk area. Given the department's critical national security mission and the results of our earlier work, GAO reviewed the extent to which DHS manages the risks of interagency contracting and assessed DHS' guidance, planning, and oversight of interagency contracting.
