CONTRACT MANAGEMENT: INS Contracting Weaknesses Need Attention from the Department of Homeland Security

Abstract

With annual obligations for goods and services totaling $1.7 billion, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is one of the largest of 23 entities coming into the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). INSs procurement organization will continue to acquire goods and services under DHS. GAO was asked to review INSs contracting processes to assess whether INS has an adequate infrastructure to manage its acquisitions and to determine whether INS is following sound contracting policies and procedures in awarding and managing individual contracts.
