Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has relied on service acquisitions to meet its expansive mission. In FY 2006, DHS spent $12.7 billion to procure services. To improve service acquisition outcomes, fed. procurement law establishes a preference for a performance-based approach, which focuses on developing measurable outcomes rather than prescribing how contractors should perform services. 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 2017-09-23 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, DHS established a JRC to review and prioritize requirements across the department's components-such as the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. However, due to a lack of senior management involvement, it became inactive. Over a decade later and after a 2008 GAO recommendation that the JRC be reinstated, the Secretary of Homeland Security directed the creation of a new JRC in June 2014. GAO was asked to review the organization and activities of the current JRC. This report addresses, among other things, the extent to which the JRC (1) has a structure and management approach consistent with key practices; and (2) has begun reviewing and validating capability and requirements documents and informing DHS investment priorities. GAO reviewed relevant policies and procedures, examined capability and requirements documents, and assessed the JRC's efforts against GAO's key practices for organizational transformation. GAO also interviewed JRC and senior DHS officials, the OCIO and other DHS headquarters officials, component officials, and officials from a non-generalizable sample of 10 program offices that had at least one document reviewed or validated by the JRC or were early in the acquisition life cycle.

This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Each year, DHS acquires a wide array of systems intended to help its component agencies execute their many critical missions. GAO has previously reported that DHS's process for managing its major acquisitions is maturing. However, non-major acquisitions (generally those with cost estimates of less than $300 million) are managed by DHS's component agencies and have not received as much oversight. Recently GAO reported on a non-major acquisition that was executed poorly, limiting DHS's ability to address human capital weaknesses. GAO was asked to examine DHS's management of non-major acquisitions. This report assesses: (1) the extent to which component leadership is effectively overseeing non-major acquisitions; and (2) the extent to which DHS headquarters has helped components establish effective management controls for non-major acquisitions. GAO reviewed policy and component guidance, and interviewed officials from DHS headquarters and 11 components responsible for managing non-major acquisitions. GAO also traced non-major acquisition data from DHS's central acquisition data system to source documents to assess data reliability. "
