Homeland Security: Further Action Needed to Promote Successful Use of Special DHS Acquisition Authority

Overview The Homeland Security Act of 2002 authorized the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a pilot program for the use of acquisition agreements known as "other transactions." The act requires GAO to report to Congress on the use of other transactions by DHS. To fulfill this obligation, in this report GAO has determined if DHS has developed policies and established a workforce to manage other transactions effectively and it has also evaluated how effectively DHS has used its other transactions authority to attract nontraditional government contractors.
