To support this primary mission, DHS has been acquiring billions of dollars worth of goods and services. DHS also has been working to integrate the disparate acquisition processes and systems that organizations brought with them when DHS was created 2 years ago. GAO was asked to identify (1) areas where DHS has been successful in promoting collaboration among its various organizations and (2) areas where DHS still faces challenges in integrating the acquisition function across the department. GAO was also asked to assess DHS's progress in implementing an effective review process for major, complex investments. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-179/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-179.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-179/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-179.pdf GAO-05-179 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-179 Other Written Product GAO-05-179; Homeland Security: Successes and Challenges in DHS's Efforts to Create an Effective Acquisition Organization; Accountability Counterterrorism Federal agency reorganization Federal procurement Federal procurement policy Homeland security Performance measures Policy evaluation Procurement planning Procurement practices Risk management Strategic planning Policies and procedures Volume 111 Page 2592 111 Stat. 2592 Volume 116 Page 2135 116 Stat. 2135 Volume 118 Page 1298 118 Stat. 1298 Public Law 105-135 Public Law 107-296 Public Law 108-334
