US Federal Contractor Registration: Department of Homeland Security Now Required to Report All Acquisition Purchases
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 02, 2014 -- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been under some scrutiny due to acquisition project overruns. The House Homeland Security Committee (HHSC) has determined that all overrun costs must be reported to Congress and approved. The Federal Times reports on April 30 that the HHSC has created the DHS Acquisition Accountability and Efficiency Act in an effort to enforce the spending for the DHS.
According to the stipulations of the agreement, the DHS would have to conduct three major clauses: 1) Create an acquisition review board within the agency that would validate procurement documents and review the cost, schedule and performance of major acquisitions, 2) Require every major procurement and program to have cost, schedule and scope baseline documents in order to determine its effectiveness and efficiency in later years and 3) Mandate the program manager to notify agency leaders if a program runs the risk of being 20 percent over budget or 12 months behind schedule.
The DHS has spent billions over the years in government contracts and continues to post hundreds of contracts to FedBizOpps seeking out properly registered government contractors.
The Georgia Tech PTAC office “estimates that a high percentage of the 600,000 firms presently registered in SAM.gov have errors in their records. The mistakes range from misspelled words to empty data fields, to incomplete entries, to selection of incorrect procurement codes, and other flaws. As a result, these vendors miss-out on government contract opportunities either because they are screened out for not exhibiting attention to detail or because of incomplete information they cannot be identified by government buyers.” This shows that there is a real need for US Federal Contractor Registration’s services.
