Addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the DHS¿s noncompetitive procurement process. It is based on interviews with employees and officials, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents. In FY 2009, DHS obligated about $3.4 billion for procurements awarded through other than full and open competition. Based on this audit¿s review of 39 contract files, with a value of $196 million, acquisition personnel did not always follow fed. regulations when awarding noncompetitive contracts. Award files did not always contain sufficient evidence of market research or adequate acquisition planning. As a result, DHS cannot ensure that it received the best possible value on these acquired goods and services. Charts and tables.
