- Summary:
- 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 recommended that DHS headquarters establish time frames for components to identify all non-major acquisitions.
