Since it was created in 2003, the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has obligated billions of dollars annually to meet its expansive homeland security mission. The dept¿s. acquisitions support complex and critical trade, transportation, border security, and information tech. investments. In FY 2007, DHS spent over $12 billion on procurements to meet this mission including spending for complex services and major investments. DHS has made some initial progress in developing its acquisition function since 2003, esp. acquisition planning and oversight for procurement and major acquisitions need improvement. This testimony discusses findings in these areas and is based on a body of work on acquisition mgmt. issues. Includes recommend.

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 is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Since 2003, the Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) has been a designated as high risk because DHS had to transform 22 agencies into one dept., and failure to effectively address its mission and mgmt. risks could have serious consequences for national and economic security. This high-risk area includes: challenges in mgmt. functional areas, including acquisition, IT, financial, and human capital mgmt.; the impact of those challenges on mission implementation; and mgmt. integration. This testimony discusses DHS's progress and actions remaining in: (1) implementing its mgmt. functions; (2) integrating those functions and strengthening performance measurement; and (3) addressing the high-risk designation. Illustrations.
